“Life comes crashing down.”
The brand new Australian drama The Last Days of the Space Age premiers October 2 on Hulu. The story is set in Perth, Australia in 1979, which sees the city host the Miss Universe and a USA space station crash into the city — all this while the lives of our three central families are in disarray. We’re on the verge of a new world. We know it, we just don’t know it.

As key as the show’s time period is to its premise, director Bharat Nalluri muses that the show isn’t just a period piece, that people still had similar issues and worries back then that we do now, though we may feel like we’ve greatly changed. “It’s a great mirror to who we are now,” he says, but adds: “This show is full of hope and joy and light at the end of the tunnel. That’s the kind of show I like to make.”
