Comments on: ‘Here And Now’ Trailer: HBO’s New Series Is All About Family https://staging2.theplaylist.net/herenow-trailer-hbo-20180112/ Sat, 13 Jan 2018 16:23:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: LA2000 https://staging2.theplaylist.net/herenow-trailer-hbo-20180112/#comment-157862 Sat, 13 Jan 2018 06:58:00 +0000 http://theplaylist.net/?p=379457#comment-157862 Given the talent involved, I was expecting more.I’ve read the pilot and was hoping the trailer could offer some clarity about where, exactly, they were headed with this. I figured it had to be someplace better than episode 1, which for the most part never strays far from the tropes one would expect in a story about an upper middle class multiracial family. With one mystical exception, it pretty much reads like the old ABC soap “Brothers and Sisters” with the added wrinkle of each sibling representing a different color in the diversity rainbow.

But that would appear to pretty much sums it up.

I have, however, noticed an increased political slant and an odd obsession with the current POTUS that seems uncomfortably inappropriate for a film blog that as far as I was aware is not politically affiliated with any party (or should be). While you are free to write what you choose, myself and other readers are growing increasingly detached from your apparent agenda. I hope that you and the other Playlist writers will consider removing the political content and instead focus on what used to matter here – the films and TV shows.
