I can't stop staring at Ramon's hair. Is it the anti-style for The Mad Artist to have hair that looks as if it has dried after being dragged through the mud? Is this a return of hippie hair with a modern twist? How long does it take to prepare this hair so that it looks unaffected and as if the owner is too deep and artsy to care? lol (No offense if anyone has this hair, it's just a character trope that I find annoying on this show.) Reminds me of a stage production where you overdo things to get the point across.

Liberian-born Ashley, a successful fashion-industry exec, is finding more and more reason to shake up her marriage with her husband, Malcolm. And 17-year-old Kristen, the couple’s youngest child, chafes at her banal life, especially compared to her more exotic siblings. After a troubling incident at the birthday party, Audrey and Greg take Ramon to a therapist, Dr. Farid Shokrani, who has an unlikely and unexplainable connection to the young man.

This may be sacrilegious, but I think I enjoy the scenes with Farid and his family much more than the Boatwright family. Farid seems to be having some interesting things happening to him via the Boatwrights. The Boatwrights on the other hand seem to be caught up in their own whiney little worlds.

I've loved the show since day 1, was hoping for.. I guess not such a slow burn. I don't think HBO has any faith in letting this breathe though. On the app they've had it listed past Westworld, which I know they want people who missed it to get on board for next season. But, this show is still currently on the air and it seems like they keep burying it further down the featured streaming series list.

I don't remember it exactly, but it was something along the lines of

"This is why liberals always lose. If something isn't a utopia we tear it down"

Idk enough about Reddit the only description on here is for Scottish tourism. No rules posted. I’m so stoked for this series I want it to have a solid community. Anything I can do? Mods? One of the 6 other people on here have any ideas?

Big fan of family dramas so here and now fits the bill, but the 0.11 ratings I've seen online make we wonder if this show even stands a chance at be renewed, it doesn't look like the cheapest production around on top of the very bad rating.

this show is trippy as FUCK. How do you think it will end? I’m thinking lizard people from another dimension. I know it’s a long shot but I think the woman is telling Ramon to watch out for the lizard people who are coming to take him away from his family

Huge Leftovers fan here, I'm glad I found Here and Now because I feel like it draws from the same vein. The ideas of uncertainty and not knowing how to deal with it, how multi-faceted the characters are and their shifting relationships, and the blurred lines between reality / paranormal activity / mental illness as a viewer and among the characters. Anyone else finding similar parallels? Fascinating show, excited to see where it goes from here.

As soon as I saw the N for Nudity, I immediately thought, Well it looks like Ramon is getting laid again and we will be seeing some D.

I think this show is doing a pretty good job at showing how ridiculous our current society is. Ashley is walking around perceiving everything as a racist attack against her. So far she has basically accused the three people in her life who love her the most of being racists (Mom, Dad, and her husband). It has been very subtle and I admit to not really seeing it until now when I can reflect on the entire series so far.

In the first or second episode their daughter said she ordered a DNA kit for seemingly no reason. Now we see the mother being dodgy about wanting to talk to this old acquaintance that was sexually attracted to her.

Anyone else think the daughter might have been conceived outside of the marriage?

Here is my petty nit pick about the show. Ugly moles!! Yuck! Sosie Bacon's huge cheek one, the Iraqi kid and his mom's lip moles, Ramon's...

Also, at this point in the show shouldn't Ashley have something else she has going for her? Instead of dropping the racist cops in prison trope, why is she so unhappy? I'd like the writers to explore that more.
