This series has started to pick up since episode 1. The 4th episode in the series jumps to around 2059 if I recall, where drastic action must be taken to curb global warming, which is on track for 3 degrees above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century. Norton faces off against his ex-wife, where the fate of humanity is at stake... along with his relationship with his son. The characters here are becoming more believable than earlier episodes, and the performance of Norton does not disappoint.
Similar to previous episodes, the characters use exposition and storytelling as analogies for the environmental problems they face, which are no different to the problems that we face, albeit we're looking at the barrel from a distance, and they're staring right down it. Again if you like story-telling, if you like hard sci-fi, and near-future dystopia, this one's for you. But this one actually leaves you looking up with a glimmer of hope.
