Flawed but engrossing, the craft of HBO Max's post-post-apocalyptic tale masks its narrative imperfections: As in the Bard, plot gives way to poetry.
, set largely two decades into the future — 2040 by the series’ timeline — and also just as and some time before a flu pandemic wipes out nearly everybody on Earth. The years of chaos have largely passed, and the survivors we meet, in the environs of the Great Lakes, live a largely communitarian, pastoral life, free from the usual neo-feudal warlords and Mad Max types; it is more Renaissance Faire than New Dark Ages.
The first images in the series are of a Chicago theater overtaken by wildlife, which quickly flash back to “the present” — Christmas 2020 — where Arthur Leander , a stage actor turned movie star returning to the stage, has a heart attack while playing King Lear; and Jeevan Chaudhary , an EMT in training, goes onstage to try to help and later takes charge of Kirsten , a child actor whose caretakers have vanished.
In a later flashback, set earlier and picturing the meeting of Arthur and Miranda, we meet Arthur’s old friend Clark , who used to act but now works as a “CEO whisperer.” ”Civilization is a complex self-correcting mechanism,” Clark will have occasion to observe, “as complex as a person, only self-aware to a degree.”
