Season 1 Review:
Here and Now is franker, more unyielding [than NBC's This is Us] and, as a result, more suited to a tough historical moment.

That show’s narrative excesses, applied without real purpose, eventually fell flat. But Here and Now sets forth more confidently.

Season 1 Review:
It’s key to the theme of the series, really: that there are real lives and real emotions struggling to break through the social pressure and detritus of contemporary life. Those struggles are what draws us in to this complicated world to root for Ball’s precious and flaw creations.

Season 1 Review:
The damn thing is irritating, intelligent, well-acted, infuriating, self-righteous, curious, inadvertently funny, and pretentious, and Holly Hunter is in it. ... So why is Here and Now so watchable? Because the performances are terrific, and Ball, for all his miserablism, knows how to write scenes that exert an emotional pull. Hunter and Robbins are superb as the parents, and in the four episodes I watched, Lee’s Duc and Zovatto’s Ramon were standout players.
