Trepalium

2016 · 1 season

A grim, slow-burning dystopia that feels like a cold warning, tense and thoughtful rather than action-packed.

Tagline: No job. No future. Just hope.
Overview: The economic situation is a nightmare: only 20% of the population is employed. The Actives live inside the city. On the fringes, in the Zone, live the Jobless. Separating them is a wall.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, tense and melancholic. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Class, power, survival, isolation
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
