Extrapolations

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.

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.

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.

I am unsure if the broader audience will appreciate this, i feel as though they will feel that they are being educated vs entertained. I hope the season is able to strike a balance between entertaining and educating, otherwise it'll be a turn off. Some really uncomfortable topics being covered but also I assume reflective of what is currently happening but not known to the public, corporate greed and as a result the environment is impacted. Out of sight, out of mind. When I throw out my trash I see how many of my neighbours don't bother recycling and just dump everything. Soon we will be wearing face masks just to breathe air and not to avoid covid.

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.
