The Happiness of All Mankind (E04)

The fourth episode seemed to me to be the weakest (so far). To show what all needed to be done and on how large a territory - why not? But I have spent too much time with the bunch of races and the final debate about the truth annoyed me similarly to deLaFere. Suddenly, the feeling that I was watching real events disappeared, which the series managed to evoke in me, instead I was filled with disgust for similar statements, which every nobody has plenty of today, because they know well that nothing threatens them.

Impressive in the sense that the creators didn't just focus on the explosion itself and the instant adventure that came immediately afterwards, but mapped out the wider context, even the longer time span of many months since the disaster and the piling up of more and more problems and issues that need to be addressed. It doesn't have that uncompromising drive and brutal authenticity anymore, but it's still a damn well made concept with lots of "dangerous" scenes. (16/06/2019)
