3/10
Missed opportunities
19 February 2023
Hello, Tomorrow is a show that promises a glimpse into a retro future 50s era world. Unfortunately, this show fails to deliver on its premise in almost every way imaginable.

First and foremost, the plot is incredibly dull and uninspired. The execution of the story is so lackluster that it failed to capture me and my wife's attention. The show tries to be clever by throwing in some retro future elements, but these only serve to further confuse a fairly boring story set in this alternate timeline.

The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is for the great set designs and imagination of the retro tech.

The performances are wooden and lack any real emotional depth. The characters are one-dimensional and faied to connect with me in any meaningful way.

Furthermore, the steampunk aesthetic, which is supposed to be one of the show's main draws, is completely wasted. It feels like the showrunners just threw in a few gears and gadgets to make it look like a retro futuristic world without really understanding what the genre is all about.

This is a prime example of a show that had potential but squandered it through a lackluster plot, and a failure to understand its own genre.
