Here, the series is at its least intriguing.
That it glides by rather than pierces is telling given the world this show has been born into.
Almost 700,000 people are dead from COVID-19 in this country alone.
Fierce ideological divides and ongoing chaos have seeped into every aspect of our lives.
In the event, everyone with a Y chromosome, mammalian animals included, died brutally and bloodily.
Sure, there are the knotted scientific and political questions around how all this death and sorrow truly started.
But Im more interested in what lies elsewhere.
How can we heal in the face of continuous trauma?
How do women perpetuate the very systems of oppression that have led our world to rot?
How can we rebuild toward something better than what came before?
But will they have the gumption and intelligence necessary to answer these questions with the fullness they deserve?
His life has been defined by ease.
Among them is Yoricks sister, Hero (a cutting Olivia Thirlby).
This is complicated territory that nearly every white showrunner has failed to fully grapple with.
Part of the problem is that the show is not served well by Amber Tamblyns performance.
Alongside President Jennifer Brown, the most intriguing character by far is that of Agent 355.
Shes steely without being blandly strong.
The show has so far proven to be a complex, engaging, and even thrilling work of adaptation.
