Alan Ball is responsible for two of the biggest shows to ever hit HBO: “Six Feet Under” and “True Blood.” The producer and writer has a canny knack for creating familial, intimate stories with a twist and it looks like he’ll be doing that with the upcoming “Here And Now.”
Starring the always great Holly Hunter and Tim Robbins, the series follows an ordinary multi-racial family — including a philosophy professor, his lawyer wife, their three adopted children from Somalia, Vietnam and Colombia, and their sole biological child — who are hiding deep secrets beneath a sunny exterior. Things change, however, when one of the children starts seeing things that others cannot. What it all means, well, you’ll just have to watch to find out.
Sounds like it could be our next “The Leftovers“-esque style binge watch, which is just fine by us. “Here And Now” debuts in February.
