8 Days (Season 1)

8 Days (8 Tage, 2019) is a German apocalyptic drama you can watch online on iFILM, produced by Sky Deutschland, with Christiane Paul and Mark Waschke. A sixty-kilometre asteroid is locked onto central Europe. The US fires a nuclear strike to deflect it. It doesn't work. Eight days remain.

The series stays on the ground — no scientists briefing the press, no emergency command rooms. What it follows is ordinary people: a family scattered across cities trying to reach each other, someone who decides the rules no longer apply, someone who discovers she is more capable than she expected. Devid Striesow, Nora von Waldstätten and Fabian Hinrichs round out the ensemble.

Eight episodes, no third-act rescue plan. The end of the world turns out to be mostly about who people become before it arrives. Stream 8 Days (2019) online on iFILM.
