Welcome to EUREKA.png

So this one is here just to show that there is an effort to push an old show out to a new audience.

  • No mention of what how old the show is (It originally ran 2006-2012).
  • No Colin Ferguson on the thumbnail.
  • The title confused people - in the comments people were looking for Welcome to Eureka (I suspect with a round or two of notes they would have teased out the copy to make "Welcome to" less like the title)

Here's your first look at Prime Video's upcoming mind-bending psychological thriller, Homecoming, starring Julia Roberts and directed by Sam Esmail (Creator of Mr. Robot). Homecoming premieres 11/2 on Prime Video. Heidi Bergman is a caseworker at Homecoming, a Geist Group facility helping soldiers transition to civilian life.

This teaser is juicy but we will really dig into this when the full trailer comes out but this shows a big check in a very classy way. They paid for...

  • Radiohead Everything In Its Right Place (both the music and lyrics add to the tension of the piece)
  • Mr. Robot legacy & pedigree - Sam Esmail given money and creative freedom
  • Julia Roberts - how juicy does this product have to be to get Julia to do streaming? 

But now to the Deeper dives.
