A world divided into progress and devastation. The link between the two sides - Offshore and Inland - is a rigorous and painstaking system called The Process. Everyone in Inland has a chance to go through The Process to live a better life in Offshore. But only 3% make it through.
Really not a bad series in spite of some drawbacks, mainly with the dialogue. I liked it better with the subtitles instead of listening to it. Don't go into it expecting blockbuster movie quality, but just enjoy the story for what it is.
The plot is not a bad idea but not well executed. It is a very incoherent story line. It is suppose to show the human condition and how utopian societies are doomed to fail, but it is not very believable because the characters do not respond in normal human patterns but rather in very contrived manners to force the story along. I watched both seasons hoping it would pull together but overall disappointing. Watching it dubbed makes it even worse so I recommend subtitles if you want to risk watching it. There was enough pull to keep me watching but ultimately left me frustrated, and not because it was some cleverly put together brain twisting plot, but because the writers just did not seem to be able to bring their ideas together in a cohesive manner.
