Netflix
One of the new series coming to Netflix we listed among May’s new titles was a Danish-made horror drama called The Rain. It’s one of the many reasons we said Netflix was once again going to keep us planted on the couch.
I say that because based on the teaser and trailer, The Rain, which premieres Friday, May 4th on Netflix, is looking very much like a must-watch.
Also, check out this synopsis and some of the reviews…
The world as we know it has ended. Six years after a brutal virus carried by the rain wipes out nearly the entire population of Scandinavia, two Danish siblings emerge from the safety of their bunker to find all remnants of civilization gone. Soon they join a group of other young survivors and together they set out on a danger-filled quest through abandoned Scandinavia, searching for any sign of life.
Set free from their collective past and societal rules, the group has the freedom to be who they want to be. In their struggle for survival, they discover that even in a post-apocalyptic world there’s still love, jealousy, and many of the coming of age dilemmas they thought they’d left behind with the disappearance of the world they once knew.
Who will you be when the rain comes?

I've watched the first 3 episodes of #TheRain and it's drenched in powerful symbolism about climate change and its deadly ramifications. Eco-horror at its finest. Check the show out when it hits @Netflix on May 4th. ☂️ pic.twitter.com/bwBCwN3eN9
