When you’re feeling bummed out, television can transport you to another place and another time. That’s one of the medium’s perks, and that’s a major selling point of Apple TV+’s Hello Tomorrow! The entire show is an escapist fantasy, a kind of American Graffiti meets The Jetsons reality filled with cartoonish robots and an overabundance of pizzazz. But that shiny chrome exterior hides a real human darkness, one embodied by Billy Crudup’s fast-talking salesman. He hasn’t seen his kid in 20 years, his mom hates him, he’s lying to everybody around him, and he’s got a home he wants to sell ya — and it’s on the moon! Sure, it’s no lunar condo, but this show still offers a mighty fine escape from reality.
