HBO’s 10-Part Sci-Fi With Near-Perfect RT Redefined The Post-Apocalyptic Genre

A 10-part HBO sci-fi show not only boasts a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 98% but also deserves credit for redefining the post-apocalyptic genre. Viewers have an ever-growing fascination with post-apocalyptic stories that walk through bleak tales of humanity’s struggles after a world-ending event. Almost every year, a new set of shows are added to the genre, and it is hard not to notice how they are all quite similar.
