    The sharply scripted, crisply directed premiere hooks you with twists and turns, and Anderson and Sasse are crazy appealing. [7 Oct 2016, p.51]

    Right off the bat, No Tomorrow is not as strong as Jane or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, but its winning cast, and the hint of darkness in its hook imply that it may prove its mettle opposite its formidable companions.

    This is pleasant and likable, at least for the length of the pilot.

    While unquestionably a strange brew, No Tomorrow also is quite bewitching. It's fun falling under its spell.

    It’s a charming and quirky romantic tale with an overarching twist thanks to the notion that the world may indeed be ending, and it’s pulled of by two completely watchable leads.

    No Tomorrow is original, quirky and fun, not another remixed superhero story or movie remake.

    No Tomorrow is a lovely hour, with romance, humor and serious moments along the way. The characters are appealing, and if the world really were ending in 8 months (it's not, is it?), this still wouldn't be a bad way to spend some time.

    The opener for this CW charmer, TV's latest series based on a foreign hit, easily gets over the hurdle that stymies some romantic comedies: your willingness to accept the couple as made for each other.

    This pilot's not quite as clever as those for Jane or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend were, but it's charming fun.

    No Tomorrow isn’t going for authenticity so much as high-energy escapism. One’s ability to enjoy this series will hinge entirely on a willingness to suspend disbelief and embrace its sense of fun, a process that also requires an ability to overlook some contrivances in its writing.

    Sasse and Anderson are pretty charming, and I’m curious to see if the show can sustain its premise into a second week.

    The fantasy-dramedy is cute enough, though it doesn’t have the endearing daffiness of “Jane.” Tori Anderson and Joshua Sasse, who play Evie and Xavier, have a nice chemistry.

    While it’s not as wildly inventive as either “Jane” or “Crazy,” “No Tomorrow” is a breezy diversion with charm to spare.

    No Tomorrow feels more ordinary than “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “Jane the Virgin,” but it’s more engaging than most other new network comedies, and it gets a big boost from the supporting performances of Amy Pietz as the nasty boss, Jonathan Langdon as Evie’s work husband and especially Jesse Rath as her long-suffering boyfriend, a tech journalist so soft-spoken he sometimes requires subtitles.

    There's a good cast here, a template that has worked elsewhere and abundant promise. But No Tomorrow will need more tomorrows--multiple episodes--o find its groove and earn its spot alongside its stellar CW companions. Here's hoping that happens.

    No Tomorrow nonetheless has some quirky laughs, and Anderson is an appealingly inept protagonist. You could do worse with your time.

    The show’s first episode passes by quickly and enjoyably, but if every week Evie learns a lesson about living life to the fullest and Xavier’s efforts to get her to “go for it” go a little too far, No Tomorrow could quickly drift into the realm of formula. Yet there are promising grace notes in the pilot.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Very funny- I laughed aloud a LOT. At the same time, this show is socially behind and encourages too many harmful stereotypes to count. I will focus on these grating aspects of the show because many comments have adequately highlighted the aspects that make the show so clever and refreshing.
    Evie: The cautious and quirky Evie willingly abandons more of her identity and morals in every episode. Every lesson she learns from Xavier is celebrated (usually more than 1 per episode) while Xavier doesn't change at all. When Evie wants to be monogamous, he does not, so she conforms to his lifestyle. When he doesn't like the idea of her being with guys and says he wants monogamy, she changes right back even though she stated genuinely that she wanted to play the field for awhile since she had never done so before. The story is told as if Evie and Xavier make compromises that benefit them both, but really Evie is the only one who sacrifices anything in every scenario. She's extremely likable but at the same time the writers allowed her to fit several harmful female stereotypes, which just romanticizes and reinforces these 1950-ish attitudes. To name a few, Evie CONSTANTLY apologizes, she was taught and also values the idea of not interrupting or not drawing attention to herself, she's a cautious and quiet good girl; she's the perfect invisible, stay-out-of-the-way, non-threatening women that we modern-day women try so hard to unlearn to be. I guess this makes the writers geniuses because I LOVE Evie despite being the obvious feminist that I am. That's what scares me. What message does this send to younger women who have not yet parsed out their own identity from who society wants them to be? Last thing about Evie: every time she creates positive change in her life (e.g. interrupting people and taking leadership roles at work), she self-reportedly does so because of Xavier, not for herself. Xavier gets all of the credit for the behaviors that she chooses to change and when he's not there, she no longer benefits from these changes (e.g. she no longer enjoys doing things on her list like walking on stilts). He knows more than she does about what's best for her, he's always right, AND her happiness depends on him. I could go on and on, but there are more characters to discuss!
    I find Diedra's character to be really funny, but again, they could do away with the harmful stereotypes! The only successful women in leadership roles (Fern and Diedra) are cut-throat. They have no friends and can be your worst enemy if you cross them. Sooo, women in the workplace can only be evil b*tches OR weak and ineffective staff members who aren't taken seriously? Is this really 2017?
    Xavier: this character needs the most work. As a girl is sitting in his lap in a hot tub, he says "she's just different than other girls" in reference to EVIE. I can't imagine a guy saying that to me as I was in the process of hooking-up with him...but he wouldn't have said it to me, I'm an object. He doesn't speak to me or my friend when I talk. He just talks to another man (who he just met but already has more authority) about this other chick while I'm making out with his neck. Of course, the girls trying to hook-up with him take no offense because the world only has 2 categories of women: girlfriend quality and hook-up quality and the hot-tub chicks are aware of and happy with their hook-up-quality-status. He has the balls to say that he's practicing "ethical non-monogamy" when he's trying to explain why Evie walked in on him with another women he used to sleep with (ethical non-monogamy means that all parties are informed and have consented BEFORE emotional or physical things happen with another person.). Evie doesn't consent and he still hooks up with Tuesday, but he's a hero because he didn't go all the way with her. He explains that his theory on the world ending is part of his identity just like religious beliefs or sexual orientations...People CHOOSE to believe or follow religions and theories, they don't choose to be gay.. Ay yi yi....etc. etc. etc. In summary, this character is ignorant as f, but he's beloved by literally everyone on the show, even Evie's ex-boyfriend....reinforcing yet another stereotype that we should not be okay with- white privileged men who get away with everything because, well, ya know...they're white men.
    As irritating and offensive as narratives are, I can genuinely say that I enjoy the show...that's what makes it so dangerous. It's like watching a racist movie that takes place in modern times, but that is so good that people shrug aside the racist innuendos. (Side bar- the one social thing I will commend them on is that their cast is more racially diverse than many shows.) This show has amazingly high ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and Google Reviews and I wonder if everyone likes it despite its faults like me, or if they just accept these stereotypes...By the comments I've read, I'm guessing the latter :-(.    … Full Review »

    I watched this show up until I think episode 10. I actually laughed quite a bit. All the characters are great. Really great acting. I didI watched this show up until I think episode 10. I actually laughed quite a bit. All the characters are great. Really great acting. I did feel that many of the scenarios were not realistic and things happened too fast to be believable. I am not getting into details, but one example- Xavier gets hired at Evie’s company and in one day he is able to turn around some big conflict. At that point I started to lose interest. The plot I felt was cool (would love to see the South American Version) and I wanted to stick with this show to see if the world does ends. What ended the desire to continue watching after episode 10? That stupid beanie Xavier wears…I mean, how teen can you get. I am not a fan of the beanie wearing -type, that was a turn off. Then, when Xavier punched his dad and told him to leave before they even made any real effort to work out the past. The father traveled so far to see him. At this point I lost the plot, I decided I could not really waste more of my time watching that Xavier character, he was driving me nuts. At this point the writing started to lose my interest, I believe around episode 10. It got really weak IMO. What kept me going as far I did … watching Tori Anderson…man, dreamy. All I can say is give it a try and make your own judgment.… Full Review »
