Jul 14, 2020
Snowpiercer is based on a french comic series. There are three comics set before the series which is set 7 years after the extinction event (When the world froze) then another comic, then a movie (15 years after the EE) then two more comics, this means that if, like me, you have seen the film first you will know that there are some limits to what can happen in the series.
Like the film the series is foremost a commentary on class with the train having three official classes, 1st, 2nd and 3rd, the unofficial 'Night Car' and the tailys, a large group of stowaways who live in the tail of the train.
Snowpiercer also focus on the impact of living in a very closed and contained environment and the effect that even the slightest change could make.
Be warned there are a few violent scenes, a bit of nudity, and sex references so if you don't like that sort of thing you may want to avoid this
