    • Trivia
      From the very outset, director Sam Esmail had been insistent on using original segments from a variety of his favorite original scores for his series. After exhaustively researching the complex prospect of licensing and copyright considerations, Esmail was eventually able to acquire clearance to go ahead with what had never been done before: score a TV series with digitized samples of original feature film music compositions. The excerpts from original scores used throughout the series were gleaned from the following: Title / Composer / Director

    Rather straightforward story that could have been told in 90 to 120 minutes.
    We have Amazon Prime so I was able to stream this through my Roku.

    It stars Julia Roberts, who was also a producer, as Heidi Bergman. She is a therapist assigned to help returning military men adjust to being home again and to develop the temperament and skills necessary to get into the workforce.

    At least that is what we are told in episode #1. But not everything is as it seems and there is something very experimental going on.

    I like Julia Roberts, and she is fine here, but as producer I suspect her main goal was to make a good chunk of money from Amazon. There really isn't anything much new here, it could have been a pretty good 90 minute movie, but the story is stretched out over 10 episodes, as has become the new mode of operation for sources like Amazon and Netflix. Which is fine for those who want to spend time leisurely watching everything unfold slowly

    Count me among those disappointed with this series, it is much ado about very little.
