Season 1 Review:
It's the right mix between a perfect cast, a unique retro-futuristic world, and strong writing and storytelling that makes it worthy of your attention. It's the fresh reinvention of Death of a Salesman that we never knew we needed nor did we even think about asking for, and as strange as that sounds, it's more than worth your time.

Season 1 Review:
The production design is a constant wonder and curiosity, if not a positive distraction. ... Created by Amit Bhalla and Lucas Jansen, "Hello Tomorrow!" is an ingenious construction, a thoroughly realized architectural confection and a mystery. ... The cast members are all pros, charismatic even when their characters are intemperate.

Season 1 Review:
By the end of the third episode, the studied slow pace of the narrative begins to grate a little, and you suspect the show may be offering more in performance and slick direction (the ‘50s tableaus are seriously impressive) than it is in story. Nevertheless, even as the plot decelerates and you start to wonder where the payoff might be, and if it might come too late, the uniqueness of Hello Tomorrow! is its own reward.

Season 1 Review:
Hello Tomorrow! has yet to develop the depth, complexity, or nuance that would earn it more holistic comparisons to Mad Men, which gave us so many indelible characters. But maybe Jack’s reckless optimism is contagious, because I came out of the finale convinced that the sky—if not the surface of the moon—is the limit.

Season 1 Review:
The net effect isn’t perfect, but the series should effectively pull the audience that wants to know where that rocket goes from one episode to the next. Because while Scarlett O’Hara famously said, “Tomorrow is another day,” thankfully, Hello Tomorrow! isn’t just another streaming show, but rather the kind of out-there concept that dares to shoot for the moon.

Season 1 Review:
Like many programs of the streaming age, this one probably would be better as a movie – Jack continues to find ways to kick the can of truth down the road into a potential second season — but ultimately “Hello Tomorrow!” made me hope the show will have enough tomorrows to reach an adequate resolution.

Season 1 Review:
Even with the underwritten characters, this show has enough interesting concepts and narrative twists to keep viewers engaged. It will be unfairly compared to the better “Severance” because of its home and high concept, but I hope "Hello Tomorrow!" continues to build on the many promising ideas and intriguing characters.

Season 1 Review:
While the first episodes are fun to watch – particularly with all of the devices the production designers have created – it’s never clear where it’s headed. ... “Hello Tomorrow” takes a while to show its hand and, then, it’s likely bluffing. With Crudup at the helm, this could go anywhere.

Season 1 Review:
Stories about seduction need to seduce the viewer, but Hello Tomorrow! evokes dread instead of danger, and, over the course of 10 episodes, the vibe wears thin. So, while the action picks up in the final episodes, it isn't quite enough to redeem the entire enterprise.

Season 1 Review:
In general, “Hello Tomorrow!” breezes past the world-building, hoping, not unlike Jack, that you’ll get too caught up in the pretty pictures to worry about the details. And damned if it doesn’t work, some of the time. ... But the series is so stylized, not just in the design but also in the performances and the “Guys and Dolls” dialogue, that the characters often feel cartoony and unconvincing. What is thoroughly, achingly real is the pervasive theme of lies and why people tell them.

Season 1 Review:
Although the cinematography foregrounds the fun technology, the plot never investigates its consequences. ... The effect — not helped by the flatness of most of these characters — isn’t nuance or complexity or even Coen-esque quirk. Haneefah Wood elevates her material, and both Hank Azaria and Jacki Weaver offer comic relief, but this series feels like satire in search of a target.
