Just the end of the world
Although climate change is already installed in our daily lives, this issue will be led by Scott Z. Burns, screenwriter of Contagion – who predicted a global pandemic scenario with terrifying acuity.
Here he builds his profile as a whistleblower with this anthology series. As its title suggests, Extrapolation extrapolates what lies ahead for humanity in the coming years.
Without spoiling, we can already tell you that his predictions are not optimistic. This dramatic series presents a near future where the chaotic effects of climate change have become an integral part of our daily lives.
Weather forecasts are downgraded to abnormally high temperatures, an indicator of the degree of air toxicity due to persistent forest fires that make the air breathable.
Sienna Miller, in the first episode, tries to escape a forest fire
In eight star-studded episodes, we follow characters as they face intimate choices with possibly irreversible consequences. This series is here to remind us as much as possible that it’s now or never to change things. And maybe it’s too late.
Starting in 2037, each episode of Extrapolations moves forward in time to follow different characters in stories dedicated to different components of the environmental crisis: rising temperatures, mass extinctions or even rising sea levels.
Kit Harington is an ersatz Elon Musk whose conscience is locked away from his work, Tahar Rahim is an Algerian diplomat fighting to save Earth, Meryl Streep voices one of the last whale specimens, and Marion Cotillard stars as a badass and badass character. bitter.
The anxiety-inducing atmosphere is everywhere and can throw off those who enter the series for its casting argument. But it will definitely speak to people who already care about environmental issues.
The first three episodes of Extrapolations are available on Apple TV+, followed by a new episode every Friday.
