What to Know

Critics Consensus

As stylish, well-acted, and compelling as it can be, Homecoming's second season simply can't find its way out of the shadow of the first.

Homecoming: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (1)

Kelly Lawler

USA Today

In Season 2, Janelle Monae ably steps into her shoes, and Season 1 stand-out Hong Chau gets the bigger role she deserves.

Melinda Houston

Sydney Morning Herald

The plot of both is interesting but not exceptional. It's all the other crucial but often underplayed elements that make Homecoming so memorable.

Rated: 4/5

This role was made for Janelle Monáe, I just wish the show's writing matched her talents.

Nathan Mattise

Ars Technica

...sometimes it's OK to put the pressure for ambitious greatness on hold for a minute and just enjoy something. As you'd expect, Janelle Monáe guarantees a certain base level of that.

The creators of the mini-series, whether they fully understand it or not, have touched on something large and important here.

StephenPaul C The scariest final 7 episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review Gareth v A clever second season that flows on well from it's predecessor.It still maintains that sense of mystery and subterfuge that Sam Esmail does so well. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Corey W The acting prowess of Janelle Monáe isn't enough to save this messy, rambling, and predictable season two. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 2 vs Season 1 - even though the story and timeline are maintained, it feels like I'm watching a very different series. The pace, mood and characters have changed - it moves from an emotional journey to a thriller, more fast-paced action series. The production rules from Season 1 no longer seem to apply and it becomes more of a traditional show (no more changing of screen ratio) - a bit like watching a season of 24. It doesn't ruin the series, but it does detract from some of the production quality of the first Season 1 - watch it to get closure for Series 1, but it won't be as satisfying - the ending was a bit ridiculous - nobody thought it was a bit suspicious that the "drink" they all decided to have at the party was red? I've never been to a party where everyone who is drinking different drinks (beer, wine, etc.) suddenly decides to change and start drinking a weird red beverage out of a steel mug! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review tom m Seasons 1-2. I was first introduced to this story by a podcast which was an 'audio play' of it. The podcast was very well done. The cinematic adaptation was okay. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A good couple of episodes, the ending just horrible made no sense.Honestly, I thought the first two episodes was good but the rest of the show not worth it. The two on the show that are supposed to be the good guys are so not charismatic. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
