Extrapolations

CAT'S PICKS WEB SERIES
Cult Critic Extrapolations

Creator: Scott Z. Burns

Starring : Diane Lane |   Eiza Gonzalez | Tobey Maguire

Interest 5


It is challenging to produce an eight-episode limited series on a topic that is certain to agitate viewers. Here's to some shocking facts. In Extrapolations, we are debating the environmental decay and the stakes for humanity. Is the new environmental drama on Apple TV+ up to par? Mostly. And the ones it does hit illuminate a problem in such a thoughtful and profound way that it's hard not to be moved, if not shaken. The award-winning 1970s miniseries Roots brought the nation to its knees with success, and its ripple effects, a profound soul-search were never truly forgotten. We haven't frequently experienced something that struck such an energetic internal harmony like that on our screens since. Extrapolations tries to do so frequently and succeeds, so one can overlook some of its failures. The series, runs for 33 years (from 2037 to 2070) and looks at big climate change issues through the eyes of everyone's experience. It uncovers what's conceivable, perhaps plausible, except if people take an alternate route ecologically. Each episode delves into a different region of the globe and the repercussions of our actions and inactions. All of this is done to convey the global stakes. Viewers are drawn to Streep because of her soothing presence, her voice, and, well, her Streepness. In this instance, it has an impact on Rebecca's work as a biologist and the choices she has to make to ensure the safety of her young son. This is an episode two feature, while the setting is 2046, and things have radically gone south in the world.
