Circle

2017 · 1 season

A cerebral, twisty ride that demands attention as two timelines slowly converge, blending mystery and dystopian unease.

Overview: After Aliens arrive, the story takes place in two time streams: 2017 and 2037. In twenty years, and by 2037, the world has been divided into a “Smart Earth” where artificial intelligence has created a utopian environment in which no diseases or crimes exist, and an “Ordinary Earth” where people still suffer from rampant plague and lawlessness.
How it feels: Tense, eerie, melancholic and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Memory, identity, technology, family
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
