Odds are many missed this one season show (a sort of mini series) looking at the progression of climate change and how it will impact peoples lives. Its a sci-fi show of sorts but also a science reality based on known consequences. It is not prematurely ended it is a coherent series telling a story which builds to a proper end with no intention to make it multiple seasons.

I thought it was well done and worth a watch, its on Apple TV+.

I found this one disappointing. It was kind of cheesy and preachy.

Just finished it. It was somewhat entertaining, but I think it was irresponsible. It greatly accelerated the timeline of climate change, greatly exaggerated things like wet bulb temperature, and invented unlikely diseases caused by climate change. It reminded me of The Day After Tomorrow by how unrealistic it was.

I worry that 20 years from now, dumbasses are going to look back at this and be like, "see, people can people sleep outside of a protective cocoon, they were lying, climate change ain't so bad."
