Plot: In the near future, the effects of climate change have become embedded into people’s everyday lives; eight interwoven stories explore the intimate, life-changing choices that must be made when the planet is changing faster than the population.
This miniseries was Really Good.
Pros: I enjoyed how this series try’s to show us how much climate change might affect our population in different periods. Each episode was so intriguing to watch as it unfolded. All of the acting was so well done. The visuals are on point along with the tension in some scenes.
Cons: Sitting through 50+ minutes of each episode does get exhausting ,and also can make you feel a bit fed up with the situation of climate change.
