Review of Here and Now

I really want to like this show, not only because I like and enjoy the characters, but also because I'm a huge fan of Alan Ball's work. I love his weirdness, his refusal to follow the rules, his need to shock, and I especially like how he's not afraid to question the conventions. However, something about this show feels off. Some parts feel forced, others are done sloppily and naively. We are 6 episodes in, and I am still waiting for SOMETHING to happen! I must admit though, I still retain hope that we will be surprised and shocked, and that the show will deliver. Otherwise, I don't see it being renewed for a second season.
