Scorpion Hour

1968 · 1 season

A slow, talky Cold War sci-fi chamber piece that feels more like a staged debate than an adventure, with a persistent low hum of geopolitical dread.

Overview: In the 21st century, a global socialist security organization is concerned over a new energy source, of possible alien origin, falling into the hands of one of the last remaining capitalist countries and turned into a super-weapon.
How it feels: Tense, earnest, dark and satirical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Politics, power, technology, conspiracy
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
