Por un mañana mejor

It's almost written as what people in the 50s thought the future would look like based on their worldview. There is no other series like this and I appreciate the deviation from the same tired stories. This is fresh with beautiful set designs, and excellently acted with a phenomenal cast!

I had no expectations going in, just the glimpse of the preview before hitting play so I had no idea what I was getting into. I'm glad we gave it a chance as it's not soon forgotten. I think it's under appreciated, understated. I'm not claiming "some just don't get it" because there are certainly parts where I was wondering if I even did. But I'm glad we followed to completion. It's like watching a play. It has all the fun elements of a good, enjoyable story and I don't feel like I wasted time invested as I do with so many shows these days.

Watch it for the characters, see how the story plays out. It's unique and quirky and fun. Escapism is what a good story should offer and this definitely delivers in that regard.

The acting is great and the story is fine. The retro science which annoys some people is hardly noticeable after a while. What I find hard is that the story is based on conning good people out of their savings in an obvious con. While I am sure it will all be hunky dory by the end of the show with warm fuzzies all round it is hard to root for any of the characters in the meantime.

It is also hard to beleive that anyone could beleive that it is possible to have a cheaper and better life on the moon than on earth. I suppose that people have shown enormous gullibility in the past but its just a lttle too much for me.

It is beyond me how many strange reasons i have read here from complaining people.

Hello Tomorrow is a drama about SELLING DREAMS to easy to scam desperate people of the failed american dream flavoured with a beautiful and creative atomic punk setting. No action, no war, no lasers, its a moody drama in a beautifully done alternate 50s sci-fi setting. Very interesting plot about a swindler mastermind's ways to try to built a business based on fairy tales about moon-homes for poor people... Very good presentation of the 50s nostalgic, also fake "smiley" american world filled with interesting inventions. Its like a little tale from Amazing Stories magazine.

NO, NOT STEAMPUNK, stop using that word, it has nothing to do with this series. Atomic punk is from the pulp era, from the America that never was (fallout world without the nuclear desolation).

Also: the trailer was pretty good: I expected EXACTLY that based on that. I dont even know how ppl thought, it will be action packed as they missing that.... not everything is about cheap superheros folks.

The people giving this a low rating seem like they don't understand the whole concept of a tv show- this is make-believe, guys- chill. This isn't a documentary about space travel or the possibility of jet-packs existing at the same time as cartoon driven UPS style trucks with no tires. This is just a made up setting. It's so funny how people complain about wanting something new and different, but then complain when it's different in a way that they don't like. Here they are, rolling the dice on something new! Give it a chance or we'll end up with nothing but true crime reenactment series (The staircase, Dahmer, 10 more in the works! Ugh) and scooby do spin-offs and you'll have no one but yourselves to blame! Now that we got that out of the way....

I only saw the first episode, so here's my take so far. This show had the style and set design of that 1964 world's fair "We're capable of anything and everything is great!" vibe. I couldn't help being taken with it. Floating robot waitresses? Why not? It's the type of stupid and unnecessary but "futuristic and cool" things people back then thought we'd have by now. It's fun and different, and just adds a little levity to what seems to be a show that's pretty heavy, topic-wise.

People keep comparing it to the Jetsons, which I get because of the futuristic style, but that's far as the comparisons go. The vibe of the show doesn't match it at all. It reminded me of something the whole time and I couldn't quite put my finger on it until I started writing this- Pee Wee's Playhouse. I know, it sounds like an odd comparison, but it has the same over the top characters and even acting style to show the "innocence of the time" in a tongue in cheek way. It's obviously not as zany, but it has the same surface level silliness. It's hard to explain, but it's definitely a big part of the first episode. It was just the vibe, though- not AT ALL what the show was actually about, so no worries of secret word of the day or any of that. It may pull back as episodes go on to reveal the true meat of the show, which is "slick salesguy is selling the perfect American Dream as his own life is down in the dumps" which we've all seen time and time again. The acting is great and I believe that this guy believes that he's doing right by people. I like his sales team, and potential of seeing them interact more in the future. His son has the "aw gee, mister!" thing going on, which will probably change as more is revealed. I'm going to keep watching because I'm intrigued by how the storyline, setting, and acting style are all going to work together as we get out of the pilot episodes and see if everything still holds up once the scenery is no longer the star of the show. I think it's definitely worth a shot!

I normally don't give shows a 10, because let's be real. Even Game of Thrones (first 5 seasons) was like a 9.5 at best. This show is legitimately at least a 9. But IMDb ratings (as of February 18, 2023) are a 6.7? Wow.

I don't know what's more mind blowing- this show, or that people don't seem to get it. It's almost the perfect show. It's the 1950s vision of the future with Billy Crudup and Hank Azeria (and an absolutely incredible supporting cast); but moreover- it's not the 1950s, but it's a vision of what our world would look like today, had we kept the 1950s vision of things. They still have incredible technology... it's a little creepy like Pleasantville... but it's so right on the money. They nail the 1950s culture, they nail the sales culture, and they absolutely nail the father longing for a son's love dynamic. The acting is superb and the production design is the highest level. The music is off the charts and the cinematography is also off the charts.

If you're not entertained by this show, you have a sad life.
