A lot of You, Me and the Apocalypse rides on coincidence (a sin two characters discuss in amusing meta-ness), but it never feels slapdash or poorly constructed; you trust that Hollands knows where he’s going with his apocalypse even when his characters don’t. Honestly, the end of the world never felt like it was in better hands. Read full review

The thrilling and comedic drama packed with intriguing mysteries isn't exactly a bold new foray for television--the motivations and complexities are complex for broadcast, but not cable or streaming services--but it is a uniquely appealing show on its own. Read full review

An unpredictably enjoyable ride. Read full review

Quirky, uneven oddball that will appeal to a few. Best to wait for all episodes to stream and go ahead and binge. Read full review

The good news is that most of it is swiftly and creatively entertaining and imaginative--which it deserves more credit for but won’t get because of its obscure heritage and hourlong, sometimes dark approach to comedy. If you’re looking for something different, though, give the end of the world a chance. Read full review

A fun but slow-going experiment in end-of-the-world gallows humor. Read full review

Not only is the plot lacking in both humor and intensity, but the storyline wastes the talents of a strong ensemble cast. Read full review

Enjoyable mix of comedy and some truly dark moments. The collaboration between brit and yank works well. Mathew Baynton and Joel Fry are a good pairing and bonus Bronagh Gallagher!

I enjoyed this I just HOPE that NBC will pick it up for more episodes since it left off the way it did. The worse thing the networks do anymore is never give shows a chance. its a wonder we even watch the big 4 anymore.. Hopefully it will play out, I am curious what will happen.

I have seen only the first installment of "You, Me, and the Apocalypse" and I enjoyed it immensely. After reading "shoulderoforion"'s review I will obviously have to defer my final conclusions until I see more episodes to see if I agree with "shoulders"' negative conclusion.

Delightfully twisted and strange TV series, full of great character actors and lots of fun acting. Did this actual air on NBC, because it's pretty mature for mainstream networks? Whatever the case may be, it's still a fun show.

Yes, much more freely conceived and written than usual network fare, on a par with very good cable fare. Does it have a point of view? No clear point of view after three episodes.

I found myself getting increasingly disappointed as I got through the episodes, feeling like a good story was just one great twist away, and it never got to that point for me. It felt like the whole show had too much going on and could have been so much better by focusing on the main plotI found myself getting increasingly disappointed as I got through the episodes, feeling like a good story was just one great twist away, and it never got to that point for me.

After having watched this from it's showing across the pond I liked how it started but then found out Rob Lowe ditched the show to take the Grinder (which it turns out I also couldn't stand). Distracting as I was constantly watching for his characters exit. The first couple of episodesAfter having watched this from it's showing across the pond I liked how it started but then found out Rob Lowe ditched the show to take the Grinder (which it turns out I also couldn't stand). Distracting as I was constantly watching for his characters exit. The first couple of episodes were entertaining and different, but then it got so contrived I stopped watching it all together. Had promise and squandered it, Lowe or no Lowe.… Expand
