Un futuro desafiante

Extrapolations has one of the best ensemble casts of any show I can remember (Ed Norton, Kit Harrington, Tobey Maguire, Matthew Rhys, Sienna Miller, Eiza Gonzalez, Meryl Streep, Marion Cotillard, Forrest Whittaker, Heather Graham, Gemma Chan, Keri Russell, Diane Lane, David Schwimmer, Nick Kroll, Mía Maestro, Daveed Diggs, Murray Bartlett, Judd Hirsch, etc). That is what I call a cast. A cast like like isn't signing up for a bad tv show and this isn't. I recommend this and please pay attention while doing so. This show tackles a subject that some people just refuse to listen to. I guarantee the people who are rating this badly probably haven't watch more than a minute of it.

This series takes place in the near future and shows how climate change has affected the everyday lives of people of all classes. The planet is changing and this series shows some very important and interesting ways in how it is. It shows eight different stories and interweaves them all together. As most other people have already pointed out the cast is absolutely amazing. So many big name A list actors and actresses have signed on for this because it's about a subject that's important to us as human beings. You can tell the amount of money they put into this because it's a beautiful shot series and the attention to detail is incredible.

I stuck through the ups and downs of this one. The first episode was rather boring, then things turned exciting in the next, and then it all kind of fell short... I love the concept of this series, but the direction it took was highly disappointing. They gathered a ton of incredible actors for a series that was half finished. It makes me sad to admit because it had so much potential. There were bits of time that felt like "well this is just a big filler". I hope that if it were to carry on it took a different approach, more visualization in the disaster side of things and not individual stories that only frustrate the viewer. No talk of how everyone feels about their fate, just drama drama drama. Maybe there's a metaphor there, but I'm too annoyed to figure that out.

I shut lights off when I leave rooms, I conserve water, I recycle. Yet in the time it takes me to write this review, 20 of the world's worst polluters will contribute more to global warming than my household could in my entire lifetime.

Series like Extrapolations are trying to convey an important message. It has an all-star cast, well-developed characters and multi-faceted storylines, but ultimately, what is a series like this hoping to achieve? The average person can only do so much, yet we're expected to shoulder the burden that belongs to the world's most powerful.

I appreciate the intention of series like this one, but ultimately for me it misses the mark. I can't stomach the anxiety of being told things are horrible while doing my level best to be a good steward of our planet. I wanted to like this series but found it discouraging and tone deaf at best.

This is a series on a topic of great controversy. Extrapolations takes a close look at the near future of the world based on extrapolating current environmental data into potential future numbers. What might these environmental changes do to humans, animals, insects, plants? What could sea level changes mean? What will increased temperatures do to human life. What will happen to the air we breath. What new medical conditions could develop? The series only provides episodes of stories depicting these questions. The were a couple of weak episodes so couldn't give it a 10. The final episode did a good job of making a statement about what the developers of the series want you to take from it. If you are an environmentalist, you will likely love it. If you believe climate changes is a hoax, you may want to skip this one.
