This series had a lot of potential and to be fair, it missed and achieved some of it.
The first episode is pretty preachy when it doesn't have to be so direct. They did some good world building but should have set up the story differently with better imagery and subtlety. The second episode by contrast has a much better vibe and feels exactly like what the rest of the episodes should have been, more or less.
Overall, it is worth a watch. At times it made me cringe because some of the writing was so cheesy. At other times I was impressed at how they showed some direct and indirect impacts of climate change on people's lives. It made me pretty emotional at times.
They need to make more movies and TV series like this. Using this series and the book Ministry for the Future could be a good foundation.
