The strange, oversexed, exhilarating new Starz series Now Apocalypse opens with a bleak observation: "In these f-cking dark and scary times, it's easy to adopt a 'What difference does it make?' attitude," says protagonist Uly (Avan Jogia). "So I often find myself in these situations where my heart's pounding so fast I can barely breathe, and I can't tell if it's excitement or terror or both." There's something au courant about the mix of nihilism and nerves he describes.
