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

    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 to date with some lovely shots. It's masterful stuff, from the start you're brought into the leadOutstanding, will def make my top 10 of the year.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    After one episode, the jury’s still out on whether Season 2 will live up to Season 1’s story and style. But Monáe is definitely good enough to carry the season, and the story may end up going in unexpected directions.

    Homecoming build to a shocking and satisfying finale that you're not likely ever to forget. [25 May - 7 Jun 2020, p.3]
