10 Best Amazon Prime Original Series
6. Homecoming
Julia Roberts' turn to TV was a masterful switch as she embodies Heidi Bergman, a woman who works for a group called Homecoming which helps soldiers adapt from war to home. The series has the feel of a John LeCarre book at times, as we twist our way through the complex nature of political and corporate power.
Though the actual ends of the Homecoming organisation are vague and misleading, we soon come to see just what is happening behind their doors. When we witness a series that has as much depth and intricate detailing as Homecoming, it isn't one that you can flick on and off, you really have to sit and watch it. Only the best series demand such attention and leave you wanting more, which is exactly what Homecoming did.
It's hard not to like Homecoming when you do give it your time and get stuck into its web, the way it keeps the central mystery going is so well thought out and delivered to the audience with gentle clues here and there.
The second season was more disappointing but that doesn't take away that the first was one of the best in Amazon's arsenal.
