    Described as coming of age comedy, wrong the actors were so bad the woman playing Sev is forty it meant coming of middle age. No comedy also described as sexy, wrong the worst sex scenes I have ever seen. the apocalypse part was a gay raping alien and even his part was minuscule. I cringed at it, typical Greg Araki he shot himself in the foot with this every one to do with this crap reallyDescribed as coming of age comedy, wrong the actors were so bad the woman playing Sev is forty it meant coming of middle age.

    Ill be honest, I couldn't even make it through the first episode. Its bad. With so much great TV out at the moment, do not waste your time on this.

    If you enjoy gay pornographic movies, let me give you hint: go to the internet and watch amateur porn. It's probably better than this pretentious liberal piece of crap series. There's no story per se: just porn and more porn. And very bad too. It's the most atrocious, cringe worthy thing I've ever seen in my life.

    This show is F.U.N. I have to say there's room for improvement, but overall I was hooked and CAN'T wait to see what's next to come!

    It's fun, vibrant, and quirky; it's not going to win any awards for intellectual content, but there is something super endearing about the series.

    A sympathetic cast and lots of steamy sex makes this fun portrayal of struggling young actors in Los Angeles an entertaining watch, but nothing more.

    First and foremost, this is a show in which dildo injuries are a constant menace (and, possibly, an allusion to the obsessions of earlier generations) and virtually any visit to a friend's home is likely to interrupt sweaty, noisy rutting. (Lest you accuse me of hyperbole: twice in the first three minutes of the pilot.)

    After watching the first five episodes, I don’t recommend watching “Now Apocalypse” every week. I do suggest waiting to the end of the season and downloading the series in one sitting. Now Apocalypse plays like the kind of show that can only benefit from a decadent binge.

    Now Apocalypse is equally as ambitious [as Kaboom], but not nearly as well executed. Where Araki and Sciortino do succeed, in addition to making sly, poignant commentary about power and relationships, is in subverting expectations, first in giving viewers a queer story that’s a bit fraught, but mostly fun.
