mariabjazzin-519-383278 Before I began watching this series I already learned there would be no season 2, but because of Holly Hunter and Timothy Robbins, I also knew I had to watch it. I immersed into their world for two days, absolutely loving every build up, connection, revelation. Of course this is not a series for the ultra conservative, but there is something there for everyone - love, devotion, dedication, confusion, teenage angst, mental instability, serendipity, family.At first I was a bit confused with the reason for the visions, but to me, it but as the last episode ended I understood. The therapist and his patient were brought together to help heal each other. The young man with the visions was drawn to the erupting volcano so that he could lead people trapped on the volcano to safety. He saw them with masks on in a vision and as he was approaching the volcano they appeared as shadows in the fallen ash. As in life, the marriage between Holly and Timothy's character will repair as they both move through their personal journey together. The story lines of religion, family, meaning of life, and acceptance rings true for every day life and every person, though shown in a dramatic way. It's cinema.

marianne-bissegger I love Six Feed Under and had high expectations of this serie, but in the end the only reason why I watched the whole serie is because the actors are very good, and I even found the actress who played the 17 years old good. I was hoping until the end I would understand the real clue of the story but I didnot. I would not recommend it.

pfbarkley The season one ending was some sort of cruel April fools joke right?

The_late_Buddy_Ryan "Six Feet Under" fans should be pleased by the family resemblance. Like its acclaimed forebear, "Here and Now" is a "dark" family drama with a slowly unfolding backstory and an overlay of spooky magic realism. There are no talking cadavers this time, at least so far; Dad (Tim Robbins) is still with us at the end of the first episode, though mighty bummed out about the Trumpocalypse. (I confess that Holly Hunter's hovering, hyperactivist Mom kind of makes me miss dear old Ruth Fisher.)In keeping with the Portlandian setting, their three adopted children are each from a different wartorn country. The older two, a Liberian-born fashion designer and a Vietnamese life coach, are saddled with conventional first-world problems (marital discord, psychosomatic illness, racial microaggressions, a corporate buyout) that even the writers seem a little bored by at times. No problem--the actors are likeable and attractive, and the quick-cut, three-card-monte editing style always shifts the focus away before too long. The youngest adoptee, Ramón, really brings the spooky fantasy--terrifying hallucinations and some sort of psychic connection with his (Iranian-born) therapist that still hasn't been explained, if it can be; they share each other's dreams and have portentous conversations about the all-receptive "porous mind." Woke teenage daughter Kristen (not adopted) and her "gender-fluid" Muslim BF have the best storylines so far; they've both taken to wearing the hijab in public and are currently being harassed by white-supremacist mean girls (is that even a thing?). The therapist--a tortured soul if there ever was one-- his wife (fabulous Necar Zadegan) and son (that's the gender-fluid BF) also have an intense old-country backstory that's just started to be unveiled (so to speak) as the first season closes. The explosive finale answers a few of our questions, leaves many more for the second season, if there is one, which has yet to be decided...
