The first episode introduces the viewer to a vision of a class divided world, advantaged and disadvantaged, with all the predictable outcomes, prejudice, privilege, exploitation, etc. Heavy handed preachy writing include typical progressive premises: inherent unfairness of borders, Americans getting their comeuppance for immigration policy, anti- genetic engineered agriculture, negative depiction of corporate culture, and stereotypical characters acting in stereotypical ways.
Had the writers chosen to be a little less obvious about their desire to propagandize, the show's concept, viewing a future world adapting to climate change, has some potential. But as it stands it's just another badly written SyFy series not worth spending time watching - unless of course, you buy the propaganda the writers are peddling.
On the positive side, Some of the technical imagining is interesting.
