Hello Tomorrow!: Season 1

"The creators have successfully crafted a space where we can slip in, gaze in wonder, and believe in the unfailing smile of a man like Jack Billings."

"Hello Tomorrow! gives Billy Crudup the role he was born to play."

"Its reach exceeds its grasp."

"Crudup is marvelously cast, letting Jack’s inner aches occasionally slip past his practiced smile... But the series is so stylised... that the characters often feel cartoony and unconvincing."

"Hello Tomorrow! is an ingenious construction, a thoroughly realized architectural confection and a mystery..."

"Gorgeous looks are eclipsed by a meandering story..."

"Hello Tomorrow may look inviting in its bizarre blend of iconography, but it’s frustratingly conventional at its core."

"A warm and funny but also scalpel-sharp portrait of a capitalist society..."

"The world of Hello Tomorrow! isn’t a bad place to visit, but it might not be the best long-term investment."

"The ideas are unrewarding enough that the worked-over look of the show grows tiresome, as though it’s covering for a lack in the series’ writing."

"(The) show can't decide whether it's drama, comedy or satire — so it ends up being nothing."

"Even with the underwritten characters, this show has enough interesting concepts and narrative twists to keep viewers engaged."

"For all the funny exchanges, desperate sales pitches, oddball characters and amusing details within this vividly realised, peculiar world, the prevailing mood is, unexpectedly, one of cynicism and melancholy."

"It starts slow, but stay for Billy Crudup..."

"Too bad the storytelling in this highly stylised, half-hour dramedy doesn’t aim as high as its ambitious characters."

"It’s worth streaming Hello Tomorrow! for the visuals and for Crudup’s lead performance. But it’s going to need to show us more than what it’s showing in its first episode for us to continue past the first handful of episodes."
