Episode: The Sky Is Falling
Pub date: 2019-10-20

Notes from The Listener:

Anthology fiction show with an eschatological flavour. It begins with an episode set in 1722, then each instalment jumps forward 99 years to tell the story of a possible apocalypse in a different century. One for Black Mirror fans. This episode is about a scientist living in a floating city in the year 2217 who is trying to convince a mysterious "agent of the hegemony" that he should be allowed to terminate his research for ethical reasons. The smart concept of this series is backed up by textured sound design and impressive acting

Episode 6: 2217. In a floating city above the clouds, a young researcher must convince a figure of authority to end his current research project, even though it may hold the solution to an imminent crisis.

Written by Zach Valenti and Gabriel Urbina. Story by Zach Valenti. Directed by Sarah Shachat.

Be advised: this episode contains mentions of body horror and human experimentation.
