Every story is different, but the fight for our future is universal. And when the fate of humanity is up against a ticking clock, the battle between courage and complacency has never been more urgent. Are we brave enough to become the solution to our own undoing before it’s too late?
In the trailer, we are introduced to a different set of characters who all wish to wake up magically in a better world. It is shown that technologically society has reached very advanced levels where people get their energy from the sun. Humans have set foot on Mars and even cancer has been defeated. And yet, for every question answered, another one appears, making it an unsolvable loop.
It looks like some have even accepted their tragic fate, where global warming will be the end of the world but they will all bid goodbye smiling in gold-plated coffins. While there are still a few, who have hopes for the planet and the human race, they strive to build a technology that would help them survive and even thrive. But will it be possible, when the root cause is human greed for advanced life?
With a long list of A-list actors having a cameo in the series, the fictional story feels like a premonition for what is to come in the future. It will be interesting to see how the concept of climate change is shown in the series and if their solution could inspire people, to do better outside of the screen.
