Now Apocalypse

To be honest I have no idea where the storyline of the show is going, but to me the first episode was fun, sexy and lighthearted

It's fun, and it's making fun of the millennial generation. If you're disgusted by it then that shows more about who you are than about the show.

It's kind of too early to tell but cant help but be curious if this is supposed to the the spiritual successor to 97's Nowhere? Similar vibe but with today's 20 somethings opposed to 20 somethings in the late 90s. Anyway it's somewhat interesting.

Anyone my age (55) and older that dislikes this show needs to think back to their own 20s and remember how clueless they were. This show is like a beginner's guide to having (and what to aviod in) a sex life and/or relationship.

I'm impressed by what I've seen so far (I'm writing this while watching episode 4). Yes, the show appears to be simplistic and has a plot that is mostly beside the point, but I think it's important to embrace this simplicity if you are going to enjoy the show.

The show is predominantly about human sexual interactions, many of which are transactional in nature. Regardless of Gregg Araki's filmography, I would say this is more a millenial- rather than a gay-oriented show; "Queer as Folk" this is not. What's even better, this show is both old-school and Progressive with a capital "P" at the same time. Old school because the situations these characters find themselves in have been played out repeatedly for ages. Progressive in that gender stereotypes are out the window, for instance the most masculine character in the show is also the most emotionally vulnerable.

Hopefully this show will continue to explore a broad gamut of the human emotional spectrum.

If you're watching 'Now Apocalypse' with the hope of finding a truly well-written and intelligent series, then don't. This show isn't intended to win awards, awe audiences and win over masses... but that doesn't make it bad. The series is crafted like a very WTF fever dream of over-the-top millenial comedy and drama, pushing stereotypes to the limit and being oh-so-sexual at every chance it can get.

All in all, it's an edgy, sexual, odd show finished with a thick coating of bright paint and aesthetic directing, coloring and cinematography. It completely SHATTERS the norms of comedy television, and that's what makes it so unique. It's also brilliantly cast with Avan Jogia, Beau Mirchoff, Tyler Posey, and more television mainstays.

Overall, this isn't by any means a show that was written with the mindset of "this is an intelligent work of art". It was created to be fun, different, bizarre, and just over-the-top enough to make audiences say... WTF!!
