About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a quiet, post-apocalyptic survival drama focused on isolation, routine, and fragile hope in a flooded city; Not for you if you need fast action or airtight realism, and fans of The Midnight After may appreciate the eerie mood.
Pros: striking flooded-city atmosphere; strong lead performances; hopeful survival themes | Cons: slow burn pacing; uneven emotional bond; some logic questions
