"Assessing the Success of Apple TV's 'Extrapolations' in Tackling Climate Change"

Apple TV+’s anthology series, Extrapolations, explores the possible impact of the climate crisis on humanity’s future through a star-studded cast. However, the convoluted and chaotic first episode fails to impress, despite the brilliant performances. The series finds its sweet spot when it strikes a balance between lecturing and enlightening, but these moments are few and far between. Overall, it fails to evoke the same fear and emotion as other climate crisis dramas, such as Years and Years.
