A thought provoking drama that you should watch

Likes:
- I love how much the drama focuses on the coflicts among different institutions/parties/factions of the whole disaster. It's really unique as most disaster films/shows mainly focus on the disaster itself and its destruction. You can really see how much work and how difficult to organise the whole rescue operation.
- The characters are very compelling. The actors act out their parts really well. You can feel that every decision made is something the character would do and someone in real life might made in the situation. Nobody really feels like the bad guy. You can stand in their shoes and see why they did what they did.
- The whole story is especially relatable in today's climate. The hopelessness in parts of the story is conveyed well.

Dislikes:
- The ending feels slightly rushed compared to the show. I previously hoped that they would delve more into the aftermath of the disaster. Not the destruction but what the government would continue to do.
- Some plotpoints should be either omitted or have enough time to really flesh them out, though I do understand what the show is going for.

You should watch this show if:
- You enjoy the political/logistic side of things in films/shows regarding major events.
- You enjoy the shows with a (environmental) message to tell.
- You want to understand how you, we might be impacted in climate change.

Highly recommend!!
