Now and Then

Quite a catchy recipe for this one and adequately executed. A group of friends, 20 years after a certain event are being blackmailed for what happened back then. It's the same recipe that Netflix used for creating the much inferior "two summers". The 4th episode of this apple TV series is amazing and the plot is quite intriguing throughout. The suspense is being kept with new elements in every episode and the pace is normal to fast which is good for a change. All these pretentious crap series that keep the pace slow on purpose and for now reason, drive us to extreme levels of boredom. Almost only the European productions have a true justification for the slow pace that we usually encounter in their series (e.g. They build characters, show emotions, raise the tension etc). American TV shows of nowadays think that by purposely keeping the pace slow, this automatic raises the quality standards. Thanks God this show is not that pretentious. Enjoy it for what it is: a suspenseful and commercial crime thriller which is interesting to watch whilst being neither super sophisticated nor of low quality.

I don't understand the low rating for this great series. I don't usually give high ratings easily, but this series is really great. It's full of thriller and suspense, with twist after twist (some of which you can see coming). The characters are well-developed, and the plot keeps you on the edge of your seat. I just wish the series was entirely in either English or Spanish rather than a mix of both, as it can be a bit distracting. The cinematography is top-notch. Just ignore all those low reviews. If you love crime, suspense, drama, or thriller series, jump on and watch it! You won't be disappointed.

They should show this in film schools as an example on how not to make a show.

Arrogant creators having no idea that a show needs an audience to justify its existence.

A dreadful mess that does not know what it wants to be, the plot has no structure, the video cam footage is pretentious, hackneyed and unwatchable, the music is massively intrusive.

Dull and uninteresting characters doing dull and uninteresting things for dull and uninteresting reasons.

It seems like a lot reviewers jumped the gun and gave negative reviews on the first episode or first few episodes. It took a few episodes to find its groove and what may have seemed like a cliche plot idea at the start, reveals itself to be much more complex and intriguing. The characters are also a lot more complex than they may first appear to be. I really hope there will be a season 2.
