"Eagle-eyed indie film fans have followed director Gregg Araki's push into episodic TV for the past couple years," says Daniel Fienberg. "The Doom Generation and Mysterious Skin auteur's name has popped up on shows that make some sense (American Crime and, more oddly, Riverdale) and a few that required a little head-scratching (Greenleaf and Red Oaks?). It's all been hired-gun work, though, as despite the proliferation of programming options and the rise of auteur TV, nobody was handing Gregg Araki a full and unfiltered series platform for his singular and strange worldview. Brace yourself, then, for Starz's new half-hour sci-fi comedy Now Apocalypse. 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. In short, it's the Arakiest."
