This was my favorite episode of Extrapolations!
EP 2: 2046 - Whale Fall staring Meryl Streep
One of mine too. It's a little scary seeing the things they got right so far.
It wasn't a great show and I didn't binge watch it, but I'm glad I ignored all the hate about it I read eventually. I really liked the drone defection plotline and the whale episode I feel is up there with some of the best Black Mirror stuff.
There was very much morale ambiguity of the "good" characters as well, it wasn't all pro-environmentalist guys are all heroes, there was definitely eco-terrorism.
I agree, it had its ups and downs, but on the whole it made me contemplate on things from many perspectives, and I think (and hope) that that was ultimately the goal of the creators as well. It certainly seemed to be.
Very few things I've watched have given me the same ..vibe, so to speak. I have been to India and that episode felt very .. authentic, for a lack of a better word.
In my opinion it's a bit sad it didn't get all that much recognition, but it also wasn't the easiest series to watch at times.
Seeing the story play out over the span of a few decades really hit home about how long we've let this stuff go on already and how long it can take for people to change views and seek justice. We just need to do all we can and keep trying to set the example.
Being the main contributor of [email protected], my feeds get full of environmental destruction and habitat and species loss, and it's tough to filter through all that every day looking for positive stories.
I agree there too. Finding the fine line between staying informed and going nuts from all the negative stuff has forced me to step back at times, just for the sake of staying sane.
