RATING
First season was great. The second season ruined it for me - what was with that godawful music?
The voice acting was great! I was like a movie in my head.
This was not my thing. The first couple episodes had me really excited but it sort of fizzled out. It has some interesting character development and interactions, but the story was meh IMO. The second season is really not great. sounds like they did not plan on making it and it shows. The acting is obviously great though. And I do think there are probably a lot of people who would really enjoy this podcast, it just wasn't really what I was expecting.
I did really enjoy this podcast. The cast seemed perfect.
Great concept, great sound, great voice actors. Genuinely one of the best audio stories I've heard in a while. And I love the touch that they added an accompanying book series! Would get a 5/5 for me but it was never completed, leaving the mystery unsolved.
Familiar voices, great storyline and insteresting topic. Love the background noise as it makes you feel like you're with them as the story unfolds.
Great production and acting. Fantastic writing, characters and story. Engaging and enjoyable to the end. Loved it!
I don't like very many audio dramas, but this one hooked me right away. Highly recommended.
Mystery + psychological drama.Top quality writing, playing, soundWhat gets me most is abundance of amazing charismatic characters.
Great story, loved it. Need to watch the show now ??
I experienced this one long before the TV show and honestly, even having picture didn't add much to the depth of storytelling and quality of production. Celebs and star screenwriters aside, Homecoming has a spot in 21st century audio drama history.
Amazing story. Dramatic, emotive, compelling and captivating. The production quality was very high, and the actors were superb. I had to listen to the whole series twice.
Really cool to follow along with the caseworker as she tries to figure out everything that's going on.
Great, great show. It doesn´t get much better. What a storyline. But you have to pay attention.
This is a story done well. The dialogue is the most natural I've heard in a scripted podcast and the voice actors do an excellent job conveying their emotions.
Ok, so season 1 is great, excellent. The writing, the ACTING (the cast is all stars and it truly shows, they are all superb). There are some very touching moments in the sessions with the therapist, and the "mystery" is compelling. Subtle characterization, like the phone calls between Heidi and her boss. 5 stars!But Season 2... is a mess; the tone changes very much (less suspence, less psychological games, more "action", there's even some humor that to be honest is not all that bad), I've been listening because up to a point it is somewhat interesting to see where the story goes, but it all crumbles down in the last 2-3 episodes that become quite implausible. Unfortunately compared to the expectations set by season 1 it's a huge disappointment and, if you don't mind a "downer" and quite a depressing (but in my opinion more fitting with the tone of the show) ending, I suggest that you stop at the end of season 1.
Amazing production and voice acting. Bit of a slower burn with great reveals. Only complaint was that it felt unfinished.
My favorite audio drama podcast. All star cast. Great editing. Intriguing storyline.
