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.)
With its casual queerness, its tinfoil-hat doomsayers and its vague but pervasive mood of foreboding, Now Apocalypse fun-house-mirrors a world that has finally caught up to Araki. If ever there was a time for free-loving youths to party through their panic, then surely that moment is now.

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.

SEASON 1
Now Apocalypse is bizarre and will certainly be off-putting to many. For others, surely a smaller audience, there’s some titillating fun to be had in this guilty pleasure’s kinky weirdness.
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.
Endearingly peculiar and energetic.
Now Apocalypse, debuting March 10 on Starz after a Jan. 29 premiere at Sundance, pushes its tone of oddity to what will likely be the limits of many viewers’ patience, bringing several amiable performances to bear on a story that feels like a warmed-over rehash of sharper material.
Araki’s libertines are fun to follow as they romp and revolve, but what happens to them seems a little too shallow, too prolonged and too low-stakes.
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.

SEASON 1
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 **** **** 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 really lost all credibility, and Beau Mirchoff how many times is he going to play the sex-starved hunk grizzling over the unattractive girl no wonder he got kicked to the curb in reality.

SEASON 1
If you enjoy **** 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. And I've watched one episode from "Girls" and another from "Broadcity" back to back. This one I couldn't stomach for 5 minutes.
