3% - 2016 - 6/10

Unwashed masses teem and struggle “Inland,” while “Offshore” is an undreamed utopia.
The concept of meritocracy, often espoused, is here carried out.
Via “the Process” each coming-of-age bracket are put through mental, physical, psychological tests.
Only 3% pass, and they are allowed to journey to Offshore.
Elysium … or Soylent Green?
Slow going 8-part parable from Brazil (in Portuguese, so find subs, if necessary).
Backstories of unlikable characters unfold.
E04 was “Lord Of The Flies” excitement, yet E05 ground to a standstill.
Near future look is heavy on dystopia, light on SciFi.
Budget and script-writing limitations apparent.
Doors left open for a second season.
