Reception
Critical reception
No Tomorrow has received generally positive reviews from television critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the season has a rating of 89%, based on 28 reviews, with an average rating of 5.9/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "No Tomorrow is a gentle, easy to digest rom-com that serves up a strong supporting cast, charming lead performances, and a hefty dose of fun."[14] On Metacritic, the season has a score of 69 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[15]
The editors of TV Guide has placed No Tomorrow eighth among the top ten picks for the most anticipated new shows of the 2016–2017 season. In its review from writer Sadie Gennis, "Tori Anderson and Joshua Sasse are infectiously charming in this offbeat romantic comedy about a woman who discovers that her dream man is an apocalypse truther. It's a weird premise, sure, but No Tomorrow leans into its own absurdity, populating the show with surreal, strange characters (including one who speaks so quietly he needs subtitles) and delightful prop comedy that is rarely seen in one-hour shows. And while it's unlikely that No Tomorrow will help the CW continue its Golden Globes streak, it fits in perfectly on the network alongside fellow genre-pushing rom-coms Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend."[16]
