Here and Now

Here and Now is a thought-provoking drama series that explores the complex forces polarizing present-day American culture through the eyes of a progressive multi-ethnic family. The series follows the lives of a philosophy professor, his wife, their three adopted children from Vietnam, Liberia, and Colombia, and their sole biological child as they face a series of life changes and emotional challenges. When one of the children begins to see things that others cannot, it sets off a chain of events that exposes the cracks in their seemingly perfect family and raises questions about mental illness, identity, and the supernatural. Created by Alan Ball, winner of multiple Academy and Emmy Awards, this series offers a darkly comic meditation on the disparate forces shaping modern American society.
