Environmental storytelling.

exploring the future of climate change through various perspectives

, with each episode jumping forward a few years to see how things change over time. It’s as much a prestige drama as it is a thought experiment. But those two sides never quite gel. The science makes for plenty of fascinating situations, but it also gets in the way of telling a focused story. Even worse, the show takes itself so seriously that it often descends into being straight-up goofy. This is a plausible vision of our dark future that also has talking whales..

This tension between science and story is most evident in the first episode, set in 2037. It’s meant to set the stage for the events that follow, but it ends up being overwhelming instead, bombarding you with facts, plot threads, and characters to the point that no single one stands out.
