Here and Now (2018)
10/10
This is so so so Good! An instant classic. Ignore the negative reviews. Just a few know how to appreciate Schopenhauer, same goes for this philosophical gem.

A must see. I can not say anything different. I read on here such bad reviews by some, I started with lots of caution. But it is all so well written, such a beautiful production with excellent acting going on. It is so beautiful. I binge watched all episodes within two days. How, what and why was this production not well received? 'Io Sono L'Amore' (I am love) by Luca Guadagnino is my favourite film and this series is right up there with it, at the top. How is it possible season 2 is not happening? How on earth can a serious film and tv critic evaluate this piece of art as slow, nebulous, and unlikeable? Are they all numbed into reviewing Hollywood over-commercial genre pieces? The series should be studied at all the existing film studies out there. I'm sorry, not being pathetic here and not being melodramatic but this might be the best Allan Ball has ever written until now. It is an important piece, it is film literature. I am only forced to conclude that Allan Ball is way ahead of his time, there's no intelligent reason to dismiss this piece. I dare to predict that these series will become a cult favourite. Cult only because the mainstream seems to dismiss it totally. But do they? On rotten tomatoes audiences give it an 8,5. And here on imdb it gets a solid 6,8. It's an important philosophical, wel crafted piece of film art. So well written and produced. It should be watched in a binge and not like one episode per week. It is a 10 hour movie, really. And the world needs another one. Season 2 has to happen. Netflix, hello? Take it from HBO. The series needs all the awards it can get. Watch it, all the episodes at once.
