Joseph C "Carol & the End of the World" is deeply depressing yet poignantly reflective Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/25 Full Review Mia M Carol & The End Of The World is an absolute, no-brakes rollercoaster of emotion from start to finish. I honestly had been putting this one off, and when I finally pulled the trigger on watching it, I wish I had earlier. It feels like an all too relevant piece, taking place in a world that is actively falling apart as it is 7 months from destruction by a rogue planet, Keppler-9c, headed for a direct collision with Earth. While the world is off crossing off their bucket lists, living lives unconstrained by rules, and chasing their wildest fantasies, Carol Kohl just wants to find some peace and quiet. But along the way, she finds so much more, including her two friends Donna and Luis, an overly clingy date Eric, and even her own sister Elena. Carol & The End Of The World isn’t a story about death. It’s a story about life, and all the complexities and intricacies that come with it. About doing what you want, whether it’s ordinary or extraordinary. About spending time with the people who make you happy, doing things that make you happy, and creating meaning within yourself, rather than looking to find it everywhere else. I couldn’t recommend this show more. If anything, grab a pillow, a blanket, and a box of tissues, and don’t be afraid to cry when it’s over. After all, all things must eventually come to an end. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Tom C I Just loved it. Simple, complicated, shallow but oh so deep. Hilarious in places too. Xx Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Vents S As much as I love the atmosphere of this existentially-oriented adult cartoon, it is not as perfect as ratings would imply (there might be a bias there, since the melancholic premise would attract the kind of viewer who relishes the bitter-sweet sadness). Generally, its about the different ways of coping with the end of things/our lives. Some indulge in hedonism, others in violence, some are depressed and lost, some others try to do "business as usual". The latter crowd is the focus of the series. The writing is uneven to say the least, some episodes can only be stomached with a lot of fast-forwarding, while others leave to wish for a spin-off focusing on that one particular brand of melancholy. The protagonist occasionally changes for the episode, focusing on side-characters and not all of them are that interesting. Should have ended with the surfing episode - there was that transcendence that befits the premise the best. Last episode - a complete failure. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Audience Member One of the most touching shows I’ve ever seen Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Marcelo R Keep returning to this. Soulful and, in spit of its rather grim premise, very comforting. "Sometimes you have to give time for things to be lost, before they can be found".
