Marsfall
Jacki and her crew left Earth and its problems behind for a chance at giving humanity a fresh start on Mars. But mysterious aliens, malicious AI, and the expected difficulties of colonizing this inhospitable planet leave them all questioning if they’ve made the right choice to abandon their home. Marsfall takes place in 2047 and follows the first colonists to settle on Mars as they face problem after problem. This high-intensity show features scenarios such as harsh storms, shadowy alien attacks, and forced assimilation by an artificial intelligence. It’s full of adult themes including violent disasters, death and betrayal, and philosophical questions. This show is not recommended for younger audiences.
