It's like a long-form version of "The Day After Tomorrow," in which disaster exploitation gets brushed with a thin veneer of sanctimonious moralizing in order to seem 'important.' The self-important, self-congratulatory tone quickly becomes insufferable. The sneering elitism with which this series delivers its 'message' demonstrates just how little Apple actually cares about that message; and just how much Apple thinks it can exploit that message to profit from well-intentioned viewers. Stripped of its half-hearted proselytizing this is just another hammy doomsday drama, and not a particularly competent one.
