From Amazon Prime:
Nominated for 3 Golden Globes, including Best Drama Series. Good intentions. Erratic bosses. Mounting paranoia. Unforeseen consequences spiraling out of control. Heidi (Julia Roberts) works at Homecoming, a facility helping soldiers transition to civilian life. Years later she has started a new life, when the Department of Defense questions why she left Homecoming. Heidi realizes there’s a whole other story behind the one she’s been telling herself.
From Amazon Prime you can stream the 1 season, 10 episodes of this complete story. Each episode lasts approximately a half hour.
Julia Roberts ( age 57) is no longer a young romantic figure. Instead she does a credible and serious job as a woman unwittingly caught up in a sinister plot that takes awhile to reveal itself.
Bobby Cannavale (age 48) does a superb job at portraying an amoral and smooth operator in the destructive enterprise. Here is a man who can put a verbal deceptive spin on whatever scheme his corporation is concocting. We see a lot of this behavior nowadays (in plots and political life and military life): characters that convince you that everything is just fine and legitimate using standard business world speech patterns. Meanwhile, in reality, nasty things are happening. Vietnam?
Stephan James (age 25) is somewhat of a newcomer. His role here as one of the many victims is well done and convincing.
However, of all the characters I most admired how Shea Whigham presented Thomas Carrasco, a determined and humble Department of Defense cog-in-the-wheel who stubbornly refused to stop investigating.
Because the episodes are so short, it is easy and compelling to binge straight through to the end. When you have finished, ask yourself if such a thing could really happen.
