Making the Homecoming TV Series 3: The Bird that Launched 1000 Ships

Customer Reviews
Sooo Goood!
Now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Listen to the podcast first! Keener and Schwimmer are top rate.
Went nowhere
Acting was good
Production was good
Story…. Well it started slow and I thought was going somewhere but then it just ended with no point. Funny I heard a lesbian describe sex with a guy almost the same way.
Sedaris, Schwimmer, Keener are perfection!
I had no idea what this was about, and the first few minutes were a bit confusing, but it was none the less compelling. It’s pure wit and just the right bit of comedy as it gathers momentum as a thriller with perfect, gripping pace and intensity. As I continued, it became more and more enthralling. Each episode is better than the previous. And the shortness of each is just the right length for drive-times 😀 .
Stylistically, Keener has such a compassionate and beautiful voice, so you can envision that character. Schwimmer is hysterically funny from his first appearance , and Amy Sedaris is Amy Sedaris!! PERFECT casting. I am usually not a fan of listening to “plays,” but this was perfect!!!
( FYI ,I was listening with a Bluetooth earpiece and accidentally pocket called someone as the episode phone was ringing, which led to sitcom-level back and forth confusion).
