As a show that clearly advertises itself to be about climate change, people who would click to watch this show are likely already supportive of the cause. There is no need to yell at us with a Greta-esque opening.
Aside from being annoyingly preachy, the show also features way over-the-top evil businessmen. Quite literally all of them are supervillains, including executives at companies doing preservation of endangered species.
The weirdest aspect of the show is its message. Instead of squarely pointing the finger at fossil fuels, industrial giants, and politicians (remember the EU rebranding natural gas as "green", legally, just so they could buy more cheap Russian gas?), the showrunners blame tech companies that are founded far in the future as main culprit of climate change (given the obvious references to Alpha(bet), the blockchain, Neuralink, and SpaceX). Meanwhile there is only one mention of BP, and none of the other major polluters.
The ending is also rather ridiculous. It revolves around an unexplained adopted daughter of the "evil" tech billionaire. The entirety of episode 4 (Edward Norton) is to caution against geoengineering. We need to look at all sources of pollution, not just carbon. Simply reducing global temperature wouldn't solve our problems. But then we ended up with a deus ex miraculous carbon capture technology that solves all our problems. What the hell?
In my opinion only episodes 2, 4, 6 (the top 3 rated ones) are somewhat watchable. The others can be skipped. Given the time jumps and many characters, you wouldn't miss anything.
