Homecoming - new show from Sam Esmail

in Other TV
On Amazon prime right now. Did anybody check this out? Julia Roberts plays a grief counselor for a center for reintegrating soldiers coming back from active duty, but there seems to be something else the people who run the place are really after.
Through 2 episodes it's super intriguing so far. Julia Roberts and the rest of the cast are great. I'm really loving Bobby Cannavale from the brief glimpses we get at him. It's got a lot of the Esmail flair and shot composition you see in Mr Robot.

It's an adaption of the Gimlet podcast with the voice talent of Oscar Isaac, Katherine Keener and David Schwimmer, among others. Excellent first season....
Wish they'd delved more into the chemical sourcing and dosing ....but that wasn't the point was it. I think the only hint was the "Manchineel" sign outside Colin's office; all other office areas had normal benign tree names.
I'm totally looking forward to Cannavale playing Schwimmers role, he seems perfectly made for it.
Mr. Robot "stripped down" is a perfect description of this show. I really dug it, Esmail is doing some of the most interesting stuff on tv just in terms of how it looks and feels. Also thought this show had some of the better phone conversation scenes that I've seen on tv in a while - which isn't something I would usually think about, but they're done so well here that they really stand out. And yes the score is fantastic.
I know the guys are super busy but this 26 ish minute episode series is a quick view. Lots of psychoanalysis for a podcast?? Just sayin..
