Homecoming: Season 1

1x01 Mandatory

I'm only one episode in and typically I try not to judge a series before I've watched a number of episodes first. However, if the rest of this series is as good as the first episode, I think it's going to be a hell of a ride. Sam Esmail of Mr. Robot fame puts together some very interesting shots and there is lots of creative lens use, as well. In fact, the entire production team has done a fantastic job creating an atmosphere that helps to create the ongoing, brooding tension in this psych thriller. The cast's performances are all solid, but I was especially impressed with Stephan James' work. Bonus points in my book for an admirable long shot about 7:45 minutes in which is composed of two tracking shots with a pretty seamless hidden cut. Very much looking forward to the rest of the series.

Sam Esmail does it again. I shall follow his career (and this show) with great interest. I love his use of camera, aspect ratio and pretty much all the rest. I'm really glad they give him a platform to perform to the best of his abilites on.
