'Goodbye Tomorrow!' is a retro-futuristic story about Billy, a talented salesman who gives his colleagues motivation and gives his customers optimism. Billy represents a company that sells lunar plots.
The developers of "Hello Tomorrow!" deserve praise for coming up with an idea that skillfully bridges the past and present while utilising technology. This humorous drama, however, lacks both humour and drama based on the three episodes that the streaming site has made available. After watching the third episode, you get a dry feeling and don't feel like waiting for the fourth. This television programme centres on a group of dishonest salespeople who persuade customers to buy property on the "Brightside" of the moon by presenting it as the embodiment of the American dream.
The retro future in which this series is set—even if some elements might seem to belong in the 1950s—could very well be 2050.
By the time you've completed viewing episodes two and three, however, things have entirely lost their charm, and you have little interest in continuing to watch further episodes. The show starts off well, and the authors are able to establish the plot in the very first episode. The script for the show, which has no crests or troughs, is to blame. There aren't any exciting dramatic moments that make you nervous or amusing bits that make you smile.
The only thing about the series that may actually compel you to watch it is its idea, which uses the American dream as its central theme and illustrates both how intricate and ludicrous it is.
The opening scene of 'Hello Tomorrow!' shows Jack Billings sat next to a man who appears despondent in a bar. During the course of their conversation, Billy is successful in persuading the man to buy a piece of land on the moon. Later, a montage gives us a view of the retro-future era, where everything is automated—from newspaper delivery to package delivery to the houses that personify the American dream—with the caveat that they all look like they were built in the 1950s.
Billy is a salesman that helps make everyone's dreams come true by offering for sale moon-based property. The only difference is that Eddie and Herb don't realise they are being conned; yet, they work under his supervision and aid Billy in his fraud. When Joey, a new recruit, joins the team, things begin to shift.
The ultimate seller Jack Billings is played by Billy Crudup, who gives a remarkable performance. However, the screenplay, which should have done wonders for this magnificent character, is a huge letdown. The humorous moments are sporadically provided by Hank Azaria (as Eddie), while the rest of the cast completely falls flat in this regard.
'Hello Tomorrow!''s' interior design isn't quite as exquisite as its outside. The performers the programme utilises to convey these ideas are ineffectual, but it thrives when it incorporates themes of hope and despair into its narrative. Billy Crudup and Hank Azaria are only able to stand out because they are seasoned professionals, and as a result, they can help preserve this series to some extent. However, other aspects, most notably the directing and the screenplay, have completely failed them. It could be a great idea to buy some property on the moon, but the price is just too high.
