The Home

The Home has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Hulu and Starz Apple TV Channel. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 284 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Watch Pete Davidson work — the performance is a masterclass in restraint. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

The Home is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The Home treats its mystery as a means, not an end in itself. A troubled man starts working at a retirement home and realizes its residents and caretakers harbor sinister secrets. As he investigates the building and its forbidden fourth floor, he starts to uncover connections to his own past and upbringing as a foster child. Credit to Pete Davidson and John Glover for grounding it — this is a cast that earns the twists. It hit screens in 2025. What makes The Home hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers who think they have seen every crime drama tend to find The Home proves them wrong. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Pete Davidson anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
