There are plenty of doomsday climate stories — 'Extrapolations' is about the everyday

The Apple TV+ series Extrapolations tells the story of what's at stake for our planet over the next few decades. Sienna Miller plays scientist Rebecca Shearer. (Apple TV+)

In some ways, Extrapolations is typical eco-thriller fare. The Apple TV+ series depicts a planet on the brink of environmental crisis, where ordinary human beings battle increasingly hostile elements, and a villainous tech tycoon seeks to take over the world.

Yet in contrast to apocalyptic climate change dramas, like The Day After Tomorrow and Snowpiercer, Extrapolations doesn't dwell on the End of Days.
