The Commons (TV series)

[bookie365]

-  "the first season of The Commons, an eight-part Australian climate crisis drama from Stan."

 Stan’s most expensive show so far envisions how Australia will change as a consequence of global heating, and the results make you stop and wonder

 

[b]Stan’s eight-part Australian drama The Commons is based in “the not-so-distant future” – a familiar turn of phrase to describe story worlds similar to our own in many respects but strikingly different in others. It is set in a climate crisis-devastated Sydney, where the air is a sickly shade of orange and extreme weather conditions pose all sorts of problems – making the show’s arrival uncomfortably well-timed, perhaps, given the 2019 bushfires and increased discourse about the relationship between extreme weather and global heating.[/b]
