Could have been longer

As always, these rambles are just my thoughts and opinions, and not intended to upset or offend anyone.

In all honesty, I’m a little bored with dystopian/apocalyptic shows and movies. Perhaps it’s to do with the age we are living in not feeling all too distant to them, but it’s a little over done. However, I am glad I gave this little series a chance because I thoroughly enjoyed it.

There were vibes of Sabikui Bisco, Snowpiercer, Tank Girl and Mad Max, so it did feel like it was catered to my tastes, but it also managed to stand on it’s own two feet.

The basic summary is in the future oxygen is scarce, and controlled by a large company in the Korean Peninsula. Delivery men are tasked with going into the wastelands to deliver oxygen and supplies - and to battle with scavengers and thugs. A small group of rebels within the delivery men are fighting against the oppression caused by the company they work for, trying to bring equality to everyone, all whilst the son of the CEO tries to kill off all refugees.

One issue is that the show was too short. I feel like it could have benefited from more world building, perhaps to let us get more acquainted with the situation and the characters. That’s not to say I didn’t empathise with the main characters, but I would have liked to have had more history.

The action sequences were fantastic, and the effects were entertaining. I had a lot of love for the refugees on the outskirts of the main districts, especially Grandpa and his little group of rascals. You could really feel the affection within the group, as well as the delivery men - the found family trope was alive and kicking.

This is definitely worth a watch.
