Weekend Preview: ‘Homecoming’ Comes To Amazon, And ‘House Of Cards’ Concludes On Netflix

Netflix

Homecoming (Amazon) — Julia Roberts stars in this trippy Amazon thriller that Brian Grubb calls one of the year’s best binge watches. The show arrives from Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail, and Roberts’ character, a counselor attempting to help returning war vets, appears to fall prey to the same twists and turns as her audience.

House of Cards (Netflix) — Claire Underwood takes over as Commander-in-Chief, and she’s got plenty of political enemies with which to contend, along with the mystery of who killed her husband.
