Last Light premieres on Peacock on Sept. 8, 2022.
Like so much modern television, Peacock’s miniseries Last Light opens in media res with its characters and world in crisis due to a catastrophic oil shortage. The biggest surprise is that the inevitable flashback starts just two days earlier. While the adaptation of Alex Scarrow’s apocalyptic thriller of the same name gets off to a promising start by warning that we are already living through the end times, it quickly loses steam as the focus shifts from intrigue to bland action and family drama.
Last Light starts off feeling a bit like the George Clooney political thriller Syriana, embroiling Andy in a rapidly unraveling government. But as the focus shifts to broad environmental messages and the generic scientist hero trying to round up his scattered loved ones, it winds up feeling much more like a less-spectacular version of Roland Emmerich’s climate change disaster flick The Day After Tomorrow.
Even though Fox has mastered the art of looking very concerned while he explains just how dire a situation is, Andy never feels legitimately heroic. He’s an agent of big oil who gave up on his environmentalist dreams to live in an estate in England complete with his own horse. A better version of the show would have presented Andy as more of an antihero. Instead, his good guy status is purely based on not being a murderer and having a family.

The show quickly abandons its political intrigue in favor of thriller cliches and family drama, a transition that falls flat thanks to weak characters and inconsistent pacing. ...
