Later that week, they all go to the hospital to celebrate Big Jim and Melanie having a baby. ĭiego and Rooster watch another one of Gully's promotional videos directed at the DWL, declaring that the south belongs to him, however, Apocalypse isn't as amused as his co-workers. Whatever the outcome, his job is to either make the crowd love him or love to hate him. He explains that it isn't about winning or losing, rather getting over with the crowd. Apocalypse continues his teachings with Bobby Pin. Apocalypse informs Bobby Pin that they used to sell out all the time back in the day, but it dried up. She also ships Rachel Green with Joey Tribbiani and nothing in this world can change her mind.The guys are preparing for their first sold-out show in a while. Her work has appeared on BuzzFeed, Decider, and TV Insider. Lauren Garafano a TV-obsessed writer living in New York City. People are talking about Now Apocalypse in our forums. They represent the young people of today, and for that we are grateful. They may use trendy lingo and make some questionable fashion choices, but they're never stereotypes. Unique in the portrait it paints of its young characters, Now Apocalypse will make you root for people you wouldn't think you’d ever root for. Watching her and Ford’s relationship unravel, it becomes apparent that it’s really nobody’s fault - the two just don’t have the same views on love. It’s clear from episode one that her relationship with Ford’s isn’t super fulfilling, which is why she tries a number of times to get Ford on board with some sexual exploration and polyamory. Not your typical straight guy character, he isn’t afraid to talk about his feelings or even shed a tear.įor her own part, Severine (Roxane Mesquida) represents disenchantment with monogamy. He’s head over heels for Severine, and can’t stand the thought of losing her. On the outside, he is straight, macho, and strong but at the same time he's a hopeless romantic. It’s about doing what feels right for him and makes him happy.įord (Beau Mirchoff) represents the end of toxic masculinity. Yes, he could be considered bi or pan, but with Uly, it’s not about labels. He identifies for most of the season as gay, but in episode 5 he finds himself attracted to Leesha (Cleopatra Coleman) and sleeps with her. Whether it be his sexuality or just the way he dresses, Uly never sticks to one set ideal. Ulysses, aka Uly, (Avan Jogia) embodies fluidity. Carly is a strong woman and embracing this side of her makes her realize how strong and capable she really is. She made the choice to do it and enjoys it. She didn’t fall into sex work out of desperation. And while her boyfriend Jethro (Desmond Chaim) doesn’t seem to love the idea of it all, Carly’s sexuality is what drives her character development the most. She knows she’s got it, so she flaunts it. As a struggling actress who also works as a cam-girl to pay the rent, Carly has got all the confidence in the world. They’re as human as they can possibly be, and as a Gen Z-er myself, it’s pretty damn cool to see characters who aren’t just an annoying stereotype.Įach of the four main characters embodies a specific trait that's closely associated with Millennial/Gen Z culture and sexuality:Ĭarly (Kelli Berglund) represents sex positivity. While Carly, Uly, Ford, and Severine may not be the most likable characters, you can’t help but respect them. On the surface, the characters in Now Apocalypse are very much what we've come to expect from Millennial/Gen Z culture, but instead of making them a joke, Araki and his cast have made them real people who also just happen to have been born in the late '90s. The aesthetic is what draws us in, but it’s the characters who keep us coming back. And while we can thank the show's visionary creator Gregg Araki for that, the show’s incredible cast also deserves praise. The first season of the Starz series Now Apocalypse has encompassed a lot. There have been aliens assaulting humans, body parts galore, and so much neon.
