Unlike FX's <em>Devs</em>, this "Evil Corp" show aimed small and delivered a fun (unremarkable) S2.

Homecoming S2: The most fun you’ll have with an evil company this spring
- Thread starter JournalBot
- Start date
The first season was a little bland too me but i guess it was good enough for others that they made a second season. I hopes it's a little less boring this time.

Binged this season yesterday, and was very happy with it, despite some reviews that claimed it was somehow a failure. I didn't find that at all; it's a different story than the first season, though with substantial overlap, but it's a story that kept me constantly surprised as it unfolded and kept defying my expectations. I will happily watch a third season.

Devs was really good. Alex Garland makes great stuff.
I hope he gets to make the second (different) series with the cast he reportedly wrote out

Funny I thought the first season of this show was terrible. I'll give this one a go because I like her, Devs on the other hand was my favorite thing I've seen in a long time. Great acting and beautifully shot.
Extra star for great visuals while laying on the couch high.

I was loving every bit of Devs, but felt the season ender was “Lost“ to some extent.
Didn’t hate anything but that seemed clumsy after a great story to that point.
Was the conclusion “free will matters only if you aren’t”???

The exceptions are the stuff they don't wash, rinse and repeat over and over until the mere mention of the word "franchise" causes involuntary screaming and twitching.
If you remove Superhero movies, Zombie/Vampire/Werewolf movies, and everything that starts with "Star" from the rosters of what Hollywood (at least on the big screen) has put out, you'd eliminate 90% of the box office. If it sort of works once, do it again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again and... (you could make a song out of those two words).
Big screen or small, I'd say that they're just walking down the same well-worn rut they've been treading for the last 20 years.

"The most fun you’ll have with an evil company this spring"....
Please don't make it sound like a challenge. Facebook is definitely going to try harder.

Honestly, all you need to say is that it stars Janelle Monae and it's a must watch. She overflows with talent.

This. These days, if I find myself thinking "it's entertainment, and I'm not entertained", then that's it for me. Not going back.
I like the half-hour format of Homecoming too. And the credits, with the final scene just continuing. Watched two episodes of S2, and so far so good.

The screenwriters have said this is their intention - to tell a satisfying, complete story each time, while leaving thing open-ended enough to continue. I very much like that approach; it's worked well in both seasons, and I will certainly watch a third season if it comes along. But both S1 and S2 are complete in themselves; they wrap up their stories well, so if another season never comes along I won't feel like I've missed anything - other than excellent entertainment.

I would also rate Homecoming2 slightly above Devs. To me both are disappointing. H2 at least has the courage of its messed up convictions, as the protagonist victim and the protagonist rich old white guy together commit what is essentially mass murder on a few people who knew what the crime was and hundreds who didn't.
I'm more disappointed with Devs because I really love Annihilation. I don't love Ex Machina and don't think Garland has ever done the reading necessary to understand what works and doesn't in current scifi.

I'm pretty sure that there's room in my world for films featuring Tesla by both Christopher Nolan and Michael Almereyda. Especially after reading the review of the latter that Nathan thoughtfully linked to. Seriously, do read that review:
And a third film by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon? Bring it on ...

Memory erasing drugs exist. If you take a high dose of inderal and specifically recall an event, those electrical circuits in your brain get suppressed (memory forgotten). Inderal is a beta blocker , an FDA approved drug for high blood pressure. It also causes erectile dysfunction and changes in affect.

All you need is a daily dose of THC and you'll erase lots of stuff.
