Perhaps for younger viewers, this seems like radical new content and concept. But for the rest of us, well, this basic theme has been repeated, over and over again, with specific details modified to suit the current moment, but the core context remains . . . A looming (fill in the blank) threatens to drastically alter life as it was once known to be, perhaps the entire planet is at stake. A group of people, brought together under the circumstances, are huddled together at (fill in the blank), as they encounter and try to survive various dilemmas. The ending usually forks into either a "it's OK, life will go on", or a more ambiguous "what happened, what happens next?" dangling uncertainty.
Of course, there's not going to be any details of that ending shared here, but it's safe to say it leans much more toward that latter option. As for the actual production itself, it had its moments, but there were certain spots in the evolving story that just seemed like thrown in afterthoughts, a lot of the cliché' attributes so commonly associated with these types of conspiracy oriented stories were tossed in to make sure the usual stereotypical bases were covered.
Once in awhile, Netflix does manage to produce some genuinely compelling, unique content, but this is not such an example.
As I said, maybe this is new ground for the gen-Z crowd to generate inspired thought about these issues, but this is hardly new ground for anyone else viewing this production. It's not a terrible production, but it's not something to view again either. Somewhere between 5 and 6 stars, maybe. I'll be generous and offer 6 stars.
