This show is a documentary-style look on some apocalyptic scenarios for the human race, but quite different from anything I've seen before.
The host, Jay Baruchel, best known for various comedy movies and TV shows, has a very relaxed (and empathetic to the average person) layman's take to all the events that could mean apocalypse for the human race, while still not losing sight of the scientific takes of each one of those.
There are interviews with various experts, a lot of video and graphic resources that make those interviews not boring and abstract, which is nice.
The show does take a political stance on the issue of climate change, which is understandable since the premise of the show is to look things purely through a human race survivability lens. I understand this might upset some people, since there are economic, geopolitical and many other levels of complexity to this issue, but it's good for everyone, on any side of the political spectrum, to understand the "survivalist" take to this problem and the show does a good job at that.
