Sister, a far-left activist, wages war against the newly reformed communist Britain, where civilians are forced to work in the flourishing sweatshops and suffocated by poverty. Her group, ‘The Forward Party’ fight against slavery, climate change, and the ever-watching eyes of big brother, but only once they overthrow the government, does she realise their ideologies do not align, when the leader of the party, her husband Andrew, tackles overpopulation, by forcing all women to be implanted with a device which prevents conception.

The world is dark, like ‘The Handmaids Tale’, disturbing subjects are faced head on, never pulling any punches. The shows pace is slow, ‘No Country For Old Men’ slow, where short scenes unfold over intense minutes of action, with minimal dialogue and zero exposition. The locations are gritty, like ‘Children Of Men’ the series endeavours to capture the current divide of class in the UK, showing the juxtaposition of the council houses and elitist mansions.

If you believe the newspapers, this world isn’t a million miles away. With the dissolution of the middle class; the super-rich monitor our phones, tell us when and where we can travel, and force us to take untested vaccinations. When the newspapers report ‘a fuel shortage’, brawls breakout amongst the queuing shoppers, and when we’re told to stay home, our neighbours become spies. This story is raw, and it is horrifying.

The story is told in a unique, nonlinear timeframe, focusing on different characters in each episode, adding deeper layers to the overall storyline. No stone will be left unturned, as we go deep into the routes of the troubles, and evolution of the chaos, to fully understand the individual’s perspective and involvement.
