Now Apocalypse

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!!

Everything made by Gregg Araki is worth watching, at least once. Always great and likely something you have never seen before.

When I started watching this is I cringed hard and assumed it was trash but I take it back, it's actually weirdly excellent. TOTALLY worth watching as soon as you let go of your assumptions abt what it is. Yes the millennial affectations are irritating but that's the whole point.

I got interested seeing the trailer, then got hooked with the first episode. The first part of the series got m real excited but it degressed til the end of the series. I really liked the characters and found them original, also the actors performed really well. Honestly I didn't have any expectations towards the plot but around the finish it was uncomfortable how little progression and coherence there was in this manner.

Again, the characters were original and relatable, the sexual looseness was really fresh and welcomed but sometimes it felt unnecessary, for example when 3 scenes after each other were just about sex.

Watch it if you want to see some sexual looseness and relatable characters but don't expect too much.

"Now Apocalypse" is fun and sexy and young - and a good,30-minute diversion. It's kind of a better version of the disappointing and cumbersome "Here and Now" in that it involves some "is he or is he not psychic?" poppycock. But I find the characters all goofily likable, although clearly cast based on looks. Some of them seem like they are learning to act as they go. And Gregg Araki does not make easy roles: the tone needs to be just right, kind of self-conscious and arrogant and earnest. In other words...very young. The plot is insignificant: the show is all about Gregg Araki's style and the use of color, light, and young flesh. And how everyone looks (almost) naked. Very 1980s.
