	Media	Author	Review
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Sure to perplex the hell out of anybody without previous exposure to Araki, 'Now Apocalypse' is weird and funny and kinky and outlandish and utterly ridiculous."
		Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It brings] several amiable performances to bear on a story that feels like a warmed-over rehash of sharper material."
		Alex Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"It’s a strange, messy trifle of a show (...) With the perfect level of don’t-give-a-fuck (...) to generate really big laughs (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Judy Berman Time	"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."
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"Araki’s libertines are fun to follow as they romp and revolve (...) But [he] allows style to prevail over substance, and often forgets to check in with the apocalypse it has promised in its title."
		Haleigh Foutch Collider	"[It] thrives when it leans into the sex and romance elements of the story and the charm of the young actors throwing their all behind the madness (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"Qualitatively, this show is a bit of a mixed bag (...) But there’s so much originality and audacity on display that even when the series isn’t working, it’s working."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"The early episodes never introduce an enticing, enlightening, or all that enjoyable story at all (...) The ride toward the end is as familiar as it is dull"
		Danette Chavez AV Club	"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.
