HBO and Alan Ball have enjoyed a lucrative partnership over the years with successful TV series like Six Feet Under and True Blood. Now they’ve introduced his new Here and Now TV show. With Ball’s fan cred and headliners like Tim Robbins and Holly Hunter, will this look at modern life appeal to today’s audience and rack up some good ratings? Will Here and Now be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
An HBO comedy-drama, Here and Now also stars Jerrika Hinton, Daniel Zovatto, Raymond Lee, Sosie Bacon, Andy Bean, Joe Williamson, Peter Macdissi, Avynn Crowder-Jones, Stephanie Arcila, and Erin Carufel. The series centers on a progressive white couple, Greg (Robbins) and Audrey (Hunter), and their multi-ethnic brood, as well as a contemporary Muslim psychiatrist (Macdissi). While they don’t always make the best choices in this world gone mad, they’re all struggling to live authentically in the here and now, because that’s all there is.

HERE AND NOW has a COMPELLING & UNIQUE vision and ADDS to my REASONS for KEEPING my HBO SUBSCRIPTION! I tend to be the person who reads the comments of others or, at most, ‘votes’ on their written critique, but today I feel compelled to write a few of my own words about Alan Ball’s newest show. As many have said, the acting has been truly GREAT throughout all of the various characters, by both its long-proven ‘stars’ as well as those who’ve been unknown to me till now. And I’ve found that each episode has me thinking, ‘pondering’ it,… Read more »
Please please please renew this show! My soul needs it! I think the WORLD NEEDS IT! It’s a very important piece to a much large puzzle! This show needed to be made and it helps us question and even answer some of what we don’t fully understand ourselves. It helps develop the narrative about faith, hope, love and God! About family and how each person internalizes life completely differently – helps to not only develop true empathy but an understanding of what it means to be empathetic to different human experiences. Very important. Especially in this climate …
There should definitely be a season 2. This was an amazing first season. Every episode had me cliff hanging for the next episode. Season 2 is a must!
Keep the show! It’s a winner.
I am fascinated by how well Allen Ball has captured the veils between each family member. Call them realms perhaps. I would love to see more in season two. I think it would be detrimental to cancel this show. I think season 2 should be tried to see if Allen Ball can keep capturing people’s interest. Maybe he can do that. I really like the show!
I have loved this show and hope there will be a Season 2
I really enjoyed watching this. I got hooked and I really felt every episode was important (no fillers). Please, renew it.
If it matters, I’m from Chile.
We love this show! Deep. Spiritual. The connections between characters a good reminder that we are all connected. Maybe not as dramatic as Ramone and Farid but the people and situations in our lives we experience for reasons we may or may not ever understand. I hope it comes back for season 2 and more so we can find out how all these relationships work out. I think it is very creative and mysterious, a much needed type of show in today’s day and age.
There is so much depth to each character and their backstory that this show could continue through many seasons. Bravo HBO! I hope to see season 2!
I love this series. So complex and yet so human. Please bring it back.
Please renew for season 2. Love this show. Want more
Please please please make a season 2,3,4,5, etc… This show has inspired me deeply and has such raw and deep beauty. I have grown a personal attachment to every character. Thank you for this amazing show! I hope to see more!
PLEASE RENEW FOR SEASON TWO
Absolutely LOVE Here And Now, I’m a little sad season 1 is coming to an end tonight. I want Here And Now to be renewed for s season 2. My opinion on why the rating weren’t that high was because I don’t believe a lot of people knew about the show, especially since it airs the same day & timeslot as Walking Dead, which I don’t watch but I know many other people that do. I WANT HERE AND NOW RENEWED FOR SEASON TWO.
Please keep this show going best thing on tv today
