In recent years the fear of the collapse of society has multiplied. The coronavirus pandemic has been key, but there are also fears of the consequences of climate change or energy shortages due to increased consumption. So much so that a few months ago there was continuous talk about the possibility of a major blackout.
When speaking of the great blackout, reference is made to the entire energy network stopping working. This would bring all kinds of problems as a society, but it can be a good subject for what are known as catastrophe movies or series. Although it has long been explained that it would be difficult for it to happen in Spain, you may want to see it in a series.
HBO Max premiered the first episode of Blackout last week, a German miniseries that describes what happens when this event shakes all of Europe and tells you about it from various points of view.

However, this is not the only series on the subject. This same year there will be one with the same name, Blackout, shot in our country by Rodrigo Sorogoyen, Raúl Arévalo, Isa Campo, Alberto Rodríguez and Isaki Lacuesta. It will tell the consequences when this event occurs because of a solar storm.
In any case, if you want to see the first episode of Blackout, here’s the link. Each week a new one will be shared on HBO Max.
