The young man of heavenly beauty almost on the fly takes a condom and jumps out the window, grabbing his clothes. A partner suddenly came to his partner for the night for a lifetime, I had to run. The young man's name is Ulysses (Evan Jogia), and so, with a naked ass, he begins his journey through the night Los Angeles . Ulysses will have time that every young man dreams about today - to star in the series, find work and love, experience the experience of parting and almost reveal the global secret of the danger threatening humanity. Ulysses are pursued by nightmarish visions of sexual invasion of Earth from space (the guy smokes grass all the time).

Ulysses do not spill water with Carley, a pretty blonde who is always fashionably dressed. Carly, like everything in Los Angeles , also dreams of becoming an actress. In the meantime, he is working as a Camwhore (and this work is for her pleasure). With her boyfriend Jetro, she tries different types of role -playing BDSM , which dominates. Everything is according to the classics: either he will dress up in a teacher with a ruler, then to the nurse, then he will just try sex with strangulation. And he (Desmond Chiam) suffers everything - by nature Jetro is a little dumb. Jetro has already become an actor: he plays a corpse in a police series.

Ulysses have not only a bosom girlfriend, but also a closest friend with whom he would secretly sleep: screenwriter Ford (Bo Mirchoff), a touching athlete who is so heterosexual that he refuses to try Severin (Roxanne Meskida) sex threesome (mzhm). He writes some nonsense, but the producers are ready to take him into circulation for some secret goals.

If you have not yet understood according to the description, “and now - the apocalypse” - the series is slightly strange. He is crammed with scenes of sex - but they are removed very chaste. At the same time, they are not staring at the not those who recently recognized themselves in the heroes of “euphoria” and “normal people” and share the ideals of care, sterility and contactlessness on the set, and those who have grown into dangerous and hard 90s , together with their creators and actors. The middle -aged Xsers, fans of the “Boarded Wire”, “Generations DOOM ”, perhaps even “laughter”. In the mid -2010s, their author removed one small short film “here and now” and completely went on television, where he shot the episodes of “American crime”, “Riverdale”, “13 reasons why”, etc.

Apocalypse is voiced by a nostalgic-romantic soundtrack. The background in all ten episodes sounds a typical playlist of the reader “Ptyuch” and “OM'A”-from The Jesus and Mary Chain to Burial . At the same time, his heroes are typical millennials, and the whole texture in this show is ultramodern. The piercing brunette Evan Jogia is a very recent star of the Nickelodeon children's channel, where he played a languid teenage young man in the zero (the series “Victoria-winning”). Now Evan has become an adult and can already play the same -sex love, without taking Vaipa from the mouth and without getting off the bicycle. But he should become an icon for the audience of both sex, and Araki specifically includes an episode with sex between Ulysses and a girl in Apocalypse.

The name of Carly also refers to the popular show on Nickelodeon (“I am Karly”), in which the teenage girl led her own entertainment YouTube channel . It's funny that Araki has a heroine with that name also works in front of a webcam ; Kelly Berglound playing her, the former star of the Disney Channel channel. Roxanne Meskida Araki has already shot in the film "Ba-bah" ; In general, this actress usually plays with Catherine Brayy or Philip Grandrhey.

At the same time, all this is a mockery of former idols of schoolchildren and nostalgic memories of their older brothers and sisters-also SCI-Fi . In the first season, the theme of aliens-consummers gradually arises, who rape homeless people under the cover of night in dirty gateways (James Duval plays one of them).

Judging by the negligence with which the scriptwriter of the series Carly Shortino (leads a sex column in Vogue ) prescribed all the adventures of the heroes, except for sexual (all events of 10 episodes could easily be able to be at five), it was the conspiracy line with preoccupied reptiloids-it turns out that they were all world leaders, including, of course, Hitler, they had to create a strong one. The scenario touched for the second season. Alas, he will not be.

“Apocalypse” is a completely copyright product: Araki in it is a co -producer, director, and co -author of the script. Araki also involved his favorite operator (Sandra Walde Khanssen) and designer (Todd Filstead) in the show. Therefore, the directorial handwriting is stored untouched - it is not for nothing that the entire English -speaking press compares the series with the film Araki “Nowhere” (by the way, there was also a line with aliens).

In addition, “and now the Apocalypse” is a parody of American television (this could already be guessed by casting), which does not fit into a series of political correct shows like “normal people” or “Betty”. No one in this series thinks about the new (or old) ethics, its slanted heroes are not at all concerned about the correctness or incorrectness of their own actions. It seems that in this series there is no morality (in one of the episodes, two heroines joyfully fail the famous feminist “Behdel test”), and everything that happens is performed as much as Just for Fun as possible. The life of Ulysses (and other heroes) is similar to endless porn, which he himself openly and talks about. Only a threat from the outside is capable of stopping this flesh on the planet of Zumers - from distant galaxies.

The original name of the series ( “Now Apocalypse” ) obviously hints at the well -known film Coppola, but it seems that there is no sense in this game. The names of the series are also quoted something: “It is more strange than in paradise” (Jarmush), “The Rules of Sex” (the Brend of Iston Ellis), from the rest you can make up almost half of the Joy Division repertoire. The director-batter seems to argue with amnesia of young champions of all the most modern, hinting that all-all-all -polyamoria, feminism and so on-was already on this old planet. And now - the apocalypse.
