It is an ambitious science fiction story, but it makes room for the more intimate moments of humanity.
-
Even more impressive is the way “Extrapolations” balances macro and intimate data. That keeps the show fresh and persuasive, with a constant flow of intriguing issues and perspectives. Sometimes the scripts get didactic. ... But “Extrapolations” generally prioritizes compelling characters in heartrending situations over messages. Burns may preach to the save-the-planet choir here, but he knows that the only way to make a lasting impression is to put on a good show.
-
“Extrapolations” could be so much more than just a series imparting a message. The show is at its best when the rich ensemble gets to not proselytize but instead embody real people caught up in the push and pull of the fate of the planet. When the show operates at its highest level, it’s hard for the viewers not to see themselves in them.
-
In oftentimes harrowing fashion, "Extrapolations" looks at one possible future while offering enough scientific know-how to keep the series exciting even in the bleakest of times.
-
There’s a lot to admire about the show’s ambitions, even if they’re not fully realized. ... I like that “Extrapolations” is asking serious questions. It’s not a hectoring approach but one designed to be entertaining, its themes delivered in a gleaming package filled with boldface names.
