Created by Dan Guterman (writer on Colbert Report, Community, Rick and Morty), we follow Carol, a middle aged woman who along with the rest of the world must accept the looming end date of all life on Earth as a massive asteroid hurtles towards Earth. With less than a year of everyone's life left on the clock, Carol starts an inward journey about herself and ultimately those around her. Dark and continually sarcastic, Martha Kelly as the lead was fantastic casting, I loved her in Baskets and she brings more of her deadpan charm. As an adult comedy there is some cartoon nudity, although I'm glad to say the series never had any significant violence or those typical narratives that many apocalypse stories follow. And we do follow more than just Carol, the story is told through a bunch a different characters, often with deeper dive episodes focusing on each, which was fun. At only 10 episodes, if you like these kinds of comedic adult comedies or think you'd like the darker apocalyptic doom spin, it was good, would recommend.
