The Now

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.

It started out really good.. it was funny but also seemed like it would lead up to a deeper meaning at the end.

For me personally I thought the further I got into it the more it just wasn't funny. I found myself really laughing for about 4 episodes and then it seemed to just get a little dry. It was like they was trying their hardest to paint a deep and serious picture and forget it was a comedy.

It also annoyed me that the episodes are 10 minutes long. There are 14 episodes so they could have done 7 episodes that are 20 minutes long.

I also didn't like how it ended. It was rushed.. there was so some side stories they started but never finished. Like what happened with him ex girlfriend? Or what happened to the people working for him?

The only reason I continued to watch it until the end was because it was a quick and easy watch.

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.

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!

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.
