Here and Now 1×05 Reaction Post

Wow! What did you think of our introduction to Steven Benjamin in tonight’s episode of Here and Now? I really enjoyed what we’ve seen so far – and I have to admit to fangirling a bit over the photo of Steven with the Obamas! <3 The rest of the episode was great as well. I’m loving the friendship between Kristen and Navid, and that last scene between Greg and Audrey was so powerful.

So what did you think? How are you all liking the show so far? Leave your thoughts below!

Thanks to Broadway World, we finally have episode synopses for Tim’s first two episodes of the HBO series, Here and Now.

Tim appears in the final six episodes of the season, with his first one airing on March 11. Here are the synopses for his first two episodes!

Episode 5: “From Sun Up to Sun Down”

Debut date: Sunday, March 11 at 9 pm

Farid (Peter Macdissi) has trouble separating professional and personal perspectives after Ramon’s (Daniel Zovatto) most recent incident. Kristen (Sosie Bacon) and Navid (Marwan Salama) stumble onto potentially incriminating activity. Duc (Raymond Lee) and Carmen (Fernanda Andrade) make a pledge over tea. Ashley (Jerrika Hinton) and Malcolm (Joe Williamson) have dinner with the parents of Haley’s classmate, but come away with divergent opinions about the couple.

Episode 6: “Fight, Death”

Debut date: Sunday, March 18 at 9 pm

Rocked by a disturbing revelation, Ramon (Daniel Zovatto) escapes into the past. Farid (Peter Macdissi) looks for meaning in a translation, while Kristen (Sosie Bacon) takes comfort in the music of the Torah. Audrey (Holly Hunter) finds that an old college friend, Steven Benjamin (Tim DeKay), is receptive to her Empathy Initiative pitch. Greg (Tim Robbins) works out with Duc (Raymond Lee) and Michael (Kevin Bigley), and submits a foreword to Duc’s soon-to-be-published self-help book.

If you haven’t been keeping up, you’ve been missing an interesting show! I’m enjoying it so far, especially now that it’s settled in after all of the worldbuilding in the pilot, and I really appreciate the diversity and honesty I’ve seen so far. Episode 4 airs this coming Sunday, March 4.
