looks interesting enough but the sound effect/editing combo dont mesh with the actual clips. The former is like something outta the horror channel, whereas the latter looks like a series on lifetime

The early reviews for this have been 
. I wasn't that excited based on the premise, but hearing Tim Goodman talk about it on his podcast and what he said they were doing visually had me hyped. Plus it gives me a Sam Esmail fix until Mr. Robot Season 4.

Homecoming Is Must-See Mystery-Box TV
There are moments in Homecoming that are positively Hitchcockian, particularly with regard to Esmail’s choice of imagery. In episode three, there’s a vertical shot of Carrasco descending a flight of stairs that’s deliberately evocative of Vertigo. In a later episode, Esmail deploys a Hitchcock zoom so glorious it deserves an Oscar, even though, yes, I know, Oscars are not given to TV shows. Elements like that and a score that sometimes literally borrows from older films — like Alan J. Pakula’s Klute and Brian De Palma’s Dressed to Kill — infuse Homecoming with a classic conspiracy theory thriller spirit that makes it feel a bit old-school and thoroughly contemporary all at once.
