The series starts off incredibly slow. I wanted to quit this series by the first episode. Carol is boring and her life is depressing, there was honestly nothing uplifting about the first episode. I was even a little frustrated with how many more exciting possibilities there could have been in this universe while still accentuating the emotional tole on the characters. That being said I did start to find the charm in this dreary world by episode three. There is a kind of confrontation that the viewer receives when faced with the melancholy outlooks of the main characters. However, the writers ruin that confrontation in the inconsistency of their characters.
There is almost no growth in this entire show and there is often times where character growth isn't shown, but the characters still act as if they have totally changed their personality and perspective on things. This is especially true in the jump of Carols personality from episode 7 to 9. Intact episode 9 was probably my least favorite of the episodes besides the pilot.
Now, without spoiling anything, there was some interesting questions and plot points the show introduced in episodes 2-3 and are not only not developed throughout the season but completely forgotten until the final episode. Even then the final episode doesn't fully answer the questions or mysteries that sparked from the first few episodes. With that said, episode 10 was a well structured and uplifting ending to what the show wanted to portray, the impending doom and emotional strain of the end of the world.
There was a sense of humanity and life in the mundane that was beautifully articulated through this episode. If that had been exhibited through the show then this would have been a unique and beautiful insight into the raw reality of loss and death.
To summarize, while the whole of the show was disappointing and somewhat boring but there is something to gain form watching it.
Keep your expectations low but your mind open.

It is a very beautiful series, it is more melancholy and it reminds me of you know who, of course Bojack Horseman, to tell the truth Netflix released it just when the year ends, or is it something to end the year to give a message of love and peace with us themselves, this series is really worth a lot
