Hello, Tomorrow,” where everything isn’t as it seems.The new Apple TV+ series, starring Billy Crudup as a fast-talking salesman with secrets, unfolds in a weird, hybrid world mixing 1950s attitudes, clothing and lifestyles with a quasi-steampunk futuristic flavor. It’s a world in which sandwiches cost 40 cents, people tool around in tail-finned, flying cars; robots do everything from walking the dog to delivering mail to crooning at swank soriees; and there are black-and-white video telephone calls and holograms programmed with punch cards.
That places “Hello, Tomorrow!” in its own quirky universe of time and space: it could be a futuristic version of Eisenhower-era America or in the future from now. Who knows? It’s simultaneously compelling and sometimes distracting — but never boring.Crudup plays smarmy Jack Billings, the star shill for the Brightside Lunar Residence, a moon-based colony of houses and timeshares (“Zero money down, $150 a month, no taxes!”) who stops at nothing, including skirting the truth, to close a deal.
Jack’s life changes when he and his sales crew — Shirley (Haneefah Wood), Herb (Dewshane Williams) and gambling addict Eddy (Hank Azaria) — are dispatched by the lunar-based home office to drum up sales in the nearby town of Vistaville. Jack, who’s long-divorced, has family there, including his ex-wife and a son he hasn’t seen in 20 years and doesn’t know and his crotchety mother (Jacki Weaver), who’s never forgiven him for robbing her of her grandson.
