Here and Now

Wow this was a rollercoaster mess all in one season, the show has declined from " wow finally a new intriguing show worthy of HBO classics!" To " what the hell am I watching?" To "ok I get why this was cancelled". The good: Fantastic actors, some likable characters, Portland as the city star is refhreshing and nice, show is open minded and reviewing real social struggles, it's weird and entertaining all at once. The bad: A supernatural experiment gone wrong. At some point you really don't know what you are watching. Is it drama? Is it scifi? Is it GOT? And sadly, the writers did take a bit too far the social politics conversations to a point of cringeworthy unnecessary plots (biggest of all was the Muslim psychologist and the son's connection). Overall, a memorable experience that sadly fell short of its premise.

Interesting and on the edge, anyone awoken to the 1111 will fit right in , great cast Holly Hunter and another hit

I thought the show seems pretty good so far. The cast is an interesting mix of characters and ethnicities. The show just started so there's still a lot to get to but I thought as an opener by the end my wife and I were really looking forward to next week. All and all it has promise.

So many details, developments and meaning!!! Just mad it ended without an explanation. I mean write a book, a script or something!! Give a fan an explanation!!!

I liked this show a lot. Making fun of the quirks and neuroses of professional do-gooders in their home environment was fun. Each character was pretty well developed and well acted - I didn't have many, "huh? that character wouldn't do/say that" moments. No one was a cartoon-like hero or villain. I loved that you couldn't always guess where the story was going to go - psychodrama, family drama, social commentary, sci fi, suspense. Too many shows are so predictable that they're hardly worth spending the time watching.
