Synopsis
Homecoming (2018) is a psychological thriller series you can watch online on iFILM, starring Julia Roberts in her first leading television role. Sam Esmail — creator of Mr. Robot — directed all ten episodes of season one, turning a podcast adaptation into a precise, quietly unsettling drama.
Heidi Bergman works at the Homecoming facility, a Geist Group program that helps veterans adjust to civilian life. Years later she's living with her mother and waitressing, when a Defense Department investigator shows up asking why she left. Heidi's answers don't quite add up — not even to herself. Stephan James plays the soldier whose file she can't seem to recall, and Bobby Cannavale and Chris Cooper round out a cast that keeps every scene coiled tight.
Esmail shoots in shifting aspect ratios that literally close in around Heidi as the story tightens. It's a formal trick that actually works. Stream all seasons of Homecoming online on iFILM.
