Will you come away from Last Light thinking you watched the best show ever? No. But it’s got more than enough action and intrigue, a family that’s trying to reunite during a worldwide crisis and Matthew Fox being his usual charming, gritty self (eventually).

Unfortunately, the chaos here is depicted in such sloppy broad strokes, with such lazy characterization and stilted dialogue, that it becomes clear almost immediately that it won’t move you. It won’t even work as a guilty pleasure.

The series never finds its gear, existing as a ripped-from-future-headlines thriller that’s neither particularly credible nor especially thrilling.

A consistently inert environmental thriller that fails to deliver even the most minor thrills. But in reaching its bizarrely anticlimactic conclusion in only five episodes, none more than 44 minutes, it’s far too brisk to be mad at.

The result is an experience that is both dull and despondent in equal measure. Last Light is hardly able to justify its own existence, failing at being entertaining or incisive and cementing its place as one of the most misguided shows of the year thus far.

Matthew Fox plays an oil scientist who's called to a Middle East refinery when weird things start happening. Shortly after that, entire cities are plunged into darkness, while motorized vehicles are stopping abruptly or even exploding. To add a personal element, his wife and blind son are in Paris, while his daughter is in London. First, he must determine what's causing the breakdowns, track down the person responsible and keep his family safe. The first episodes have some gripping moments, but as the plot thickens, the tension slips. Even though the concept behind this environmental terrorism is pretty scary, the series starts to lose dramatic moment as the explanations play out. The closing scenes become a call to action for climate change, losing the effects of a dramatic resolution and undermining the series' effectiveness.

Two points for the setting it supposed to be in - sounded great but I didn't even finsih the first episode. Writing, dialoges, acting are embarrassing as hell. Hopefully anyone can manage a better film or series in this setting
