Blackout: Tomorrow Is Too Late

Should be named Dark and Darker. The atmosphere is extremely bleak at every single point of the series. So much so that it's too much. We get it, no more electricity, boohoo. Despite the dreary scenes, the somber demeanor of everybody in the series, slow pace, and the quality of the show, it should serve as mandatory watching material for all of Europe. There won't always be mist hanging over the entire continent day and night when the electricity goes off, but people will change, and that is show pretty well in the series. The idea is actually not bad and quite realistic. In 2026, the EU is nowhere near ready to handle a continent-wide blackout. It isn't protected against widespread hacking and doesn't take it seriously enough despite the war raging on close to its borders. The series was made before the war and depicts a European continent taken completely by surprise and struggling to cope. If you liked Dark and generally enjoy Scandinavian police shows, this might be up your alley. It wasn't for me, so I didn't enjoy it.
