Carol y el fin del mundo

There is no reason to Watch this show, it is slow, doesnt make you laugh, at many times it gets bizar surreal, and the protagonist voice reminds me some kind of electronical device.... But somehow, going through this alleatory random stories, reminds us of the necessity of all getting a meanning, a certain control, and afterall is just one simple thing, human interaction in all their forms... watch it till the end and i assure you wont be able to not be sympathetic and just love Carol....regard the end of the world.

I dont know if theres a second season on the way, and i really feel it doesnt need one.

The world is going to end in 6 months due to a small planet crashing into earth. How to proceed? Most people start living every day as if it's their last; they travel the world, run around naked, skydive and learn French, eat whatever they like and screw whoever they want. Meanwhile Carol is trying to pay off her debt with a bank that's not even in business anymore. She doesn't know what to do. We follow Carol as she tries to cope with the lack of meaning in her life.

The show is episodic, mysterious, dry, sarcastic, humorous, emotional. It reminded me of Bojack Horseman in the surreal depiction of real life problems like depression and coping mechanisms.

Maybe it's me. Like Carol, I'm 42, single, childless and don't know how to find the meaning in life or how to enjoy it, while it so often feels that the apocalypse is around the corner. Not a planet about to crash into earth, but climate change, wars, pandemics. So needless to say, I found Carol & The End of the World very relatable.

I'm certain the show is not for everyone. This is not really a review. Rather the void I'm filling after binge watching the whole show. Watch it, don't watch it. I'm sure some will stop after 1 or 2 episodes and some, like me, will enjoy it while crying at least once every episode. I'm sure it will find it's audience. 9/10.

As soon as I watched the first episode, I was certain that this series reflects our current situation, lost amidst the many news, the many choices, and amidst the words of influencers and big, famous figures in this world. Carol represents every person who suffers From not belonging anywhere, Carol sums up how cruel the world can be even when it's coming to an end. In fact, and to be neutral, this work contains a huge amount of feelings and feelings represented by the events that bring us to the truth that our societies are not as perfect as we think and need a lot of reforms. To sum up what I said, Carol is me, she's you, and she's every other miserable person in this world...

I haven't finished the season yet, but from what I've seen so far, this show keeps you interested in what happens next even if the main character, Carol is very flat emotionally.

Carol is introverted and a bit withdrawn. She struggles with opening up about her feelings to friends or family. I feel if she were honest, maybe she could work through her issues better.

Carol just wants things to be like they used to be. She also wants to be productive and have a sense of purpose regardless of the dire situation the planet is in. She doesn't want to just live in the moment, party, travel or participate in risk taking activities like everyone else she knows.

When eventually does come across people that are like her and have the same interest, she finds that's they are even more withdrawn than she is. She desperately wants to make a friend that she can relate to. But her social awkwardness and quiet demeanor make that even more difficult.

The show also realistically addresses how things might be if we were to face an end of the world situation like having the military work at the grocery stores so that people don't loot or hoard food. This is a level of forethought that I appreciate that makes the show more immersive and engaging. This show also makes you wonder what you would do if faced with a similar situation.

I look forward to seeing what the rest of the show has to offer.

I really loved this series and it's refreshingly original take on an apocalypse scenario. The art is beautiful, the story made me laugh and cry, and once it was over it stayed in my head for a long time and gave me a lot to think about. I saw a lot of myself in a lot of characters but ultimately I am Carol. She resonated with me so deeply it surprised me.

If the whole planet was going to die in seven months, I don't think I'd go off on an adventure to hit bucket list items and see the world. I think I'd keep doing what I'm doing now- try to find community and connection, make friends, and stave off the general existential dread of everyday life. Find the things that makes me happy and content, and do it every day till there were no more days. This show was like a warm blanket, a favorite depression meal, and (now officially) a comfort show all rolled into one. If you don't get the show, that's okay. If you're the type that would try and see all the wonders of the world if you found out everyone was going to die soon, that's okay too.
