The Now

It started out so well in the first few episodes, but Dave Franco's over-acting is a cross between Bob Newhart and Al Pacino, and it becomes overbearing and annoying. It's also quite violent in parts, gratuitously so. I see the importance of those scenes, but they went on for far too long. The Eckharte premise is fine and good for inspiring people to be here now, and there is an underlying point about not expecting people to change, we're all going to mess up at inopportune times. It's a movie about compassion, and it does that part well, especially by not trying to tie up every loose end, just like life. Bill Murray's casually brilliant insights are great. I wish the director had reigned in Franco and pushed him to deliver at least some of his lines straight, and it would've been a much better series.

I loved this mini series, but can also recognize the hate surrounding it. This shows not for everyone, maybe even most people due to its over the top nature and Daves over acting. BUT if you're someone who likes depressing humor, and maybe even depressed yourself or have suffered from depression(I'm only saying this because I believe its the reason I personally like the show) then I do think you can find enjoyment from this series. I'd give the first few episodes a chance, and if it's not for you it's not for you!

Dave Franco and the hole cast did an amazing performance. The series was written really well. I normally dont laught at nowadays series becuase their humor is so flat and childish. But this show, man, it cranked me up a bunch of times. The Cast is good, the writting is good, even the ending is brilliant. A Big topic is handled on and its done right! With humor and a serious note.

One of my favourite series. I really can recommend you this one.

I didn't know what to expect going in but I have to say that I was most pleasantly surprised. The series is well written, directed and has an outstanding cast.

Dave Franco was brilliant. Jimmy Tatro and Bill Murray knocked it out of the park. Rob Yang, what can I say, I was in awe watching him do his thing. It was a really top notch performance and my favorite of the bunch. Also great to see Alyssa Milano playing a warm character on screen and not selling a bunch of fashion nonsense.

As mentioned, the writing, direction and production were top notch. The subject matter is real and was handled nicely. A show that makes you think just a little is not a bad thing. Couple that with some crazy and unexpected twists and turns and this was such an easy series to binge. It's not perfect by any means with some of the turns being a bit juvenile but it makes up for it many times over.

This is one of the best dramatic dark comedy's i have seen. Amazing cast and the writing is spectacular. I really hope they make more of this show i binge watched the whole season 3 times and could not stop laughing. This is top 5 best tv shows ever. Dave Franco is perfect in this role, he is able to convey the dark depression and the optimism of the character in such a funny way. O'Shea Jackson makes a great friend. Bill Murray is the most hilarious therapist while still providing great therapy. The show is very dark and deals with suicide and depression but in a way that is rolling on the floor funny. And watching it actually made me feel better about my depression.
