'Homecoming' review: Discomfort is the theme that ties all 10 episodes of Julia Roberts' psychological thriller

Amazon Prime’s upcoming psychological thriller ‘Homecoming’ started off as a podcast co-hosted by show creators Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg
PUBLISHED OCT 22, 2018

You have loved Julia Roberts as the prostitute with a heart of gold, a single mother determined to make a difference, a proud professor daring her students to think outside the box, a heartbroken woman traveling the world to curb her mid-life crisis, among many other things. However, you have seen nothing like Heidi Bergman, a former government employee trying to piece together the memories of a forgotten life. 

Amazon Prime’s upcoming psychological thriller 'Homecoming' started off as a podcast co-hosted by show creators Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg and the show continues to recreate that form of narrative, relying heavily on conversations to move the plot forward. However, it would be unjust to not appreciate the visual treat - or nightmare - that the podcast has evolved into, one that makes you question everything from the government to your own sanity.
