The world as we know it has come to an end, due to a rain-carried virus that wiped out nearly everybody in Scandinavia. Six years after that event, two Danish siblings emerge from the safety of the bunker where they have been staying. After discovering all remnants of civilization gone, they join a group of fellow young survivors, and together they head out on a danger-filled quest throughout the abandoned land in search of signs of life. The survivors think they have been set free from societal rules of the past, but they quickly find that even in a post-apocalyptic world there is love, jealousy and other coming-of-age dilemmas that young people have always faced.

Sean T. Collins Decider 05/24/2019
The science fiction in this episode gets so science-fictiony-poisonous trees, plants and people communicating via their telepathic virus...-that the speed works against our suspension of disbelief. Go to Full Review
Dustin Rowles Pajiba 05/28/2019
It all makes for a sluggish, narratively inert and dull season, at least until the final episode-and-a-half... It does, however, set up an intriguing season three. Go to Full Review
Amanda Bell TV Guide 05/24/2019
Perhaps it was better left to the imagination, because this is a disappointingly dull slog that injects almost three hours of filler into about an hour and a half's worth of plot. Go to Full Review

Mike D Jan 3 Why does Netflix constantly feel we need to have LGBQT politics shoved in our faces??? See more Claudiu I 05/27/2023 Second series started to show some holes in the plot. Characters didn't communicate important things with others. Some scenes are not believable. See more Steve Swihart T 03/08/2023 S2 isn't quite as good as S1, though I'd say better than S3. This show has plot holes large enough to drive/ship the entire GDP of the US, China and EU combined. A virus is in the rain and will kill you quickly if rain gets on you, but it can't seem to travel in streams or groundwater or fog, etc? The world walls of Scandinavia and has a gate in the wall that only is manned by folks on the diseased side? A company somehow created it with some eye toward controlling the population? Some of the infected can control it and put out waves of dark particles that do stuff - kill people, heal those whose immune systems are suppressed .... Also, can't the rest of the world airlift supplies in? Send in some folks to do research? Maybe some power lines such? That said, we did watch it all and the acting is, while not bad, also not good. Good enough. Effects are fine for TV, sets are well-done - the right amount of decay/rot. No idea why everyone has to yell "Rasmus" all the time, and some of the other character's names. See more 04/26/2022 Totally Unique concept with mysteries and twists. Great story telling and love the characters as they placed in the series. This series gives you vibe of The Walking Dead kinda based on same thing basically that is SURVIVAL. But it's totally worth watch you wouldn't get bored at any moment. Every episode will keep you engaged and the good thing is it has less episodes as compare to other survival based series. And that's even a better idea to start and finish soon. So just give it a try to this one it won't disappoint you. Specially characters, storytelling, sound all are top notch. I'll be giving 9/10 for this one... See more 03/15/2021 I liked season one ,but once the rain was no longer dangerous it was not nearly as much fun. Sarah wandering around not getting sick and Rasmus having disease flowing from his body I could live with.. Simone becoming some super scientist who thinks she can put together a cure, Simone willing to let her bother murder anyone and be OK with it, Simone becoming so incredibly stupid and annoying, me cheering for Simone to die, Simone saying stupid things especially to Martin who just wants to do the right thing.. Yes, if you can't tell I hated her character. She talks about doing the right thing and then never does. I don't think I will bother with season 3 as it is all going to hell in a handbrake. I will probably just fast forward to the last episode and watch the last five minutes and save myself the torture. See more 02/26/2021 Compared to season one, this season differently lacked a solid plotline. Season two defiantly felt all over the place, however, it was still a good watch. Also coming from season one were we already know all the characters, it was good to see that they haven't changed. The actors still play there part really well. See more Read all reviews
