Synopsis

Now and Then explores the differences between youthful aspirations and the reality of adulthood, when the lives of a group of college best friends are forever changed after a celebratory weekend ends up with one of them dead. Now, 20 years later, the remaining five are reluctantly reunited by a threat that puts their seemingly perfect worlds at risk.

Critics' reviews

"The most engaging aspect about the series isn’t its visceral murder mystery, but its depiction of the ways in which social status can doom people to avoidable and tragic fates (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Anzhe Zhang : Slant
"Thinly drawn characters and sleepy pacing hold the series back from reaching its full potential — and unlike the awful night in question, Now & Then proves all too easy to forget."

Angie Han: The Hollywood Reporter
"A dynamic portrait of its deeply flawed characters and their hubris that continues to haunt them. It is fascinating to follow their desperate attempts to avoid accountability"

Chase Hutchinson: Collider
"Despite a fine performance from Perez, we fear we're not going to see enough of her to make suffering through the generic main characters of 'Now And Then' tolerable"

Joel Keller: Decider
"The show is best when it embraces its pulpy sensibility (...) and gives its actors juicy scenes (...) Now & Then is less successful, though, when it tries to feel topical"

Manuel Betancourt: AV Club
"The best thing about this series is the performances by an impressive ensemble cast (...) The series can become too heavy in spots"

Lorraine Ali: Los Angeles Times
"With Miami as its gorgeous backdrop and diversity at its center, 'Now & Then' is an entertaining and gripping take on a familiar formula"
