Now Apocalypse

This is either a really well written soft core porno or a very terribly written drama. Either way, Beau Mirchoff can't seem to find his shirt and I'm giving this show a 4 until he does.

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.

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.

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