So often, us viewers unpack a mystery box TV show like this one, only to find it empty inside. Homecoming manages to add layers of meaning and complexity even as its secrets are revealed. It’s the carefully wrapped TV gift that keeps on giving. Read full review

This second season may not be as ambitious as the first, but it is very satisfying as a bingeable work of suspense. Seven episodes may seem like a random number, but it’s exactly the number needed to tell the story being told, and I appreciate the commitment to keeping it lean, especially in this age of hashtag–Releasing Snyder Cuts.

It's like one of those movie sequels nobody really asked for, but which proves to be a pleasant surprise. Read full review

The Independent Isobel Lewis

While things pick up pace in the show’s final episodes, the series never quite reascends to its former glory, and in a season of only seven fairly short episodes, it feels like too little too late. Read full review

Everyone's cobwebbed in a way-too-busy plot that replaces simmering office park absurdity with dystopian triple-reverses. [Jun 2020, p.88]

When it comes to execution, by constantly pulling the rug out from beneath its audience, the new episodes of “Homecoming” come off as sharply made but cheaply retroactive as a creative storytelling exercise, one that’s far too reliant on structural misdirection. Read full review

It all feels very rudimentary and thin, especially when the narrative could have become a real and complicated exploration of trauma, identity and the way traditional mental health resources are failing veterans. The whole series is an exercise in taking the potentially significant and rendering it incidental. ... The writing is spare, the directing bland, but at least there's pleasure in watching the actors.

Outstanding, will def make my top 10 of the year. I really don't get the critics giving this a low score, it doesn't seem correct relative to other shows. It's beautifully shot and scored, the team have taken inspiration from past classics like Hitchcock (and why not) but brought it up toOutstanding, will def make my top 10 of the year. I really don't get the critics giving this a low score, it doesn't seem correct relative to other shows. It's beautifully shot and scored, the team have taken inspiration from past classics like Hitchcock (and why not) but brought it up to date with some lovely shots. It's masterful stuff, from the start you're brought into the lead character's story, from their perspective and mind. It's artful and a cut above almost anything else you'll see. the writers did a good job tying it into season 1 cleverly, Janelle Monáe excels. Sit down, popcorn, what more do you want... there are even glorious end credit scenes, showing the attention to detail, a real treat.… Expand

A clever second season that flows on well from it's predecessor.
It still maintains that sense of mystery and subterfuge that Sam Esmail does so well.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bit of a letdown; performances weren’t as good, plot wasn’t as riveting. Great cinematography.… Expand

Although the actors were interesting this season, the storyline was ridiculous and nearly incoherent.
