The axis powers won World War II.

It’s kind of okay, but it drags its feet then goes woke.

  • Science fiction starts far later, making this a drama.

A retired couple has a secret chamber buried in their backyard that leads to a deserted planet. When an enigmatic young man arrives, their quiet existence is upended and the mysterious Chamber they thought they knew so well turns out to be much more than they could have ever imagined.

I can’t say I like this because it doesn’t do enough world building and doesn’t really develop an arc with the time they have.

  • They really, really, lean into age in this show.

The remnants of humanity work to survive in a ruined world.

Gritty and good. It’s got a lot of bullshit in it though, so you really have to turn your brain off.

I had someone point out this was supposed to have comedy, but it’s so thin I had no idea.

Something about a woman having played a video game and being in that world and being overpowered.

Kinda stiff.

A fancy knockoff of Smash TV.
