The second season of Amazon's thriller treats its star as a plot device and its top support with kid gloves. No wonder it's so forgettable.
Julia Roberts, a movie star, makes her series television debut Friday in “Homecoming,” a new Amazon Prime show that began life in 2016 as a podcast — what would have once been called a radio serial and still can be if we care to define radio with the expansiveness we now apply to television.Esmail and Roberts are back for Season 2, but only as co-producers. Now the series, which was created by Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg, is directed by executive producer Kyle Patrick Alvarez .
The story now: Geist has learned its lesson and is supposedly just making soap and other benign products for the home. But c’mon, what’s really being pumped out of its essential oils infuser?Monáe’s character is an enigma: Is she a military vet, a junkie, an attorney, or maybe none of those things? Unraveling her identity is the game, so explaining anything more is a virtual minefield of spoilers.
Returning characters include human guinea pig Walter and Geist receptionist-turned-leader Audrey Temple . She usurped the job from the obnoxious Colin Belfast after he was implicated in the rehab scandal. Chau has a more substantial narrative to work with than Monáe, partly because her journey is rooted in Season 1, which was better at balancing character and story development.
