Based on the novel “Earth Abides” by George R
Synopsis
After months of isolation, Isherwood “Ish” Williams learns that most of the world has fallen victim to a mysterious disease. However, despite his instincts to isolate himself further, Ish leads the charge to develop a new civilization. Stewart..
Plus, he’s a total loser
Referenced in the Korman Productions TV podcast Deep Dive: Earth Abides on MGM+ Deep Dive Episode 1 “Alone” with Dave and Stacie (2024). Usually, the first episode would be a decent episode, but not here, which is especially bad considering it’s about a global pandemic that seemingly ends civilization. It’s only been three weeks since he came out in full force after what was said, but it feels like months or even a year with the way everyone talks and acts.
Well, that didn’t last long

Going by the cover image, what are the odds that when he meets her, she’ll be a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need any man, but he can come across like a lost puppy. I really can’t see where the entertainment is going to come from here if there’s hardly anyone left and there’s no infected threat like 28 Days Later.
I won’t wait to find out!
This episode was just the survivors complaining about being alive. Maybe there will be manual slavers (probably Christians made to look bad) who want to start a new world order and need to get rid of them? "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
