Julia Roberts stars in a Prime Video series that has achieved a remarkable 98 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
This comes as Roberts makes an appearance at the Venice Film Festival this week, promoting her upcoming thriller film, After The Hunt.
If you’re eager to see Roberts in action before the film’s release, you can watch her in a highly-rated series on Amazon Prime Video.
The psychological thriller series marked Roberts’ debut on television.
Based on a Gimlet Media podcast, the narrative unfolds over two seasons with Roberts portraying Heidi Bergman, a caseworker at the Homecoming Transitional Support Center.
Operated by the Geist Group, this facility assists US military veterans in transitioning back to civilian life.
Four years later, Heidi leads a quiet life as a waitress until a Department of Defense auditor begins probing her sudden departure from the facility.
As her memories resurface, Heidi delves into her past and starts uncovering a sinister plot linked to the program’s true purpose.
The first season is set across two timelines: 2018, depicted in vibrant widescreen, where Heidi is fully involved in the facility, and 2022, presented in a more restricted view, as she unravels the truth while being drawn back into an investigation.
The series ran from 2018 to 2020 and includes notable performances by Janelle Monáe, Chris Cooper, Joan Cusack, Stephan James, and Hong Chau.
The TV series, Homecoming, secured an impressive 98 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critics praised the show for its ability to ‘balance its haunting mystery with a frenetic sensibility that grips and doesn’t let go.’
Viewers were also captivated by the drama, with one commenting: “Great thriller. Had a lot of uncomfortable feelings over here! Kept me going and interested ’till the end.”
Another viewer shared: “I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about this when it was airing, has me hooked.”
Another fan stated: “Loved it. What a wonderful surprise. One of the best shows on Prime!”
On IMDB, viewers described it as a binge-worthy weekend watch, with some admitting to watching the entire series within days.
One fan remarked: “Janelle Monáe nailed her role and the mystery kept you hooked until the very end,” adding: “We binge-watched the entire season in two days.”
“I enjoyed the first season…” another social media user expressed. “Having just binged the second season, I have to say it is even better.”
Both seasons of Homecoming are currently available for streaming on Prime Video.
