Here and Now is over. Deadline reports HBO has cancelled the TV show after only one season.
From Alan Ball, the drama centers on a progressive white couple, Greg (Tim Robbins) and Audrey (Holly Hunter), and their multi-ethnic brood as well as a contemporary Muslim psychiatrist (Peter Macdissi). The cast also includes Jerrika Hinton, Daniel Zovatto, Raymond Lee, Sosie Bacon, Andy Bean, Joe Williamson, Avynn Crowder-Jones, Stephanie Arcila, and Erin Carufel.
Here and Now‘s cancellation is hardly a surprise. The HBO series suffered from low ratings during its 10-episode first season. Overall, it earned an average rating of .11 in the 18-49 demo and only 378,000 viewers.
What do you think? Have you seen Here and Now? Do you think it deserved a second chance?
I loved the series and very disappointed it is cancelled. I thought the characters were true to the real world we live in. I wanted to know more about the doctor and his past. I think most people or should I say ‘kids today’ don’t enjoy character studies. This family was full of them and though most shared the same flaw, each had its own unique traits.
I watched all ten episodes hoping that the characters would become less despicable. I was disappointed at the end. I was hyping the volcano would destroy the whole city.
