Petro-chemist Andy Yeats knows how dependent the world is on oil. If something were to happen to the world's oil supply, it would set off a chain reaction: transportation would grind to a halt, supplies would cease to be delivered and law enforcement would be overwhelmed. While on a business trip to the Middle East, Andy realizes that his worst fears are coming true, and his family is separated at this crucial moment. His teenage daughter, Laura, is alone at home in London while his wife, Elena, and young son, Sam, are in Paris. Amid this chaos, each family member will sacrifice everything to find one another, despite the distance and the dangers that separate them.

New York Post

It’s clearly got a lot of grand ideas, but they’re presented in a paint-by-numbers fashion.

Daniel D'Addario

Variety

The series never finds its gear, existing as a ripped-from-future-headlines thriller that’s neither particularly credible nor especially thrilling.

Hollywood Reporter

A consistently inert environmental thriller that fails to deliver even the most minor thrills.

The anticipated return of Matthew Fox to acting is a little underwhelming. Neither he nor Janne Froggatt can generate much excitement in this run of the mill action movie.

Rated: 5/10

Alex Maidy

JoBlo's Movie Network

From the generic techno-thriller music to the by-the-numbers plotting, Last Light is an underwhelming waste of time that fails to work as a limited series or the first season of a longer story.

Rated: 5/10

Joel Keller

Decider

It's got more than enough action and intrigue, a family that's trying to reunite during a worldwide crisis and Matthew Fox being his usual charming, gritty self (eventually).

Alan B No point trying to be clever about this review, the series was truly awful and predictable garbage. Started well, then fell off a cliff. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Valerii Ege D I only watched Last Light because Matthew Fox turned back to the acting. It didn't matter if the show was good or bad. But let me tell you something, it was good. It's a very brave idea, with good acting and a logical storyline. And only 5 episodes. Just perfect. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Alien J Started off with a lot of promise that fizzled out pretty quickly. Same same old plot devices and set pieces. Sad that the initial promise didn't play out. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review James H Just dreadful. Terrible characters, pointless melodrama and plot strands that went nowhere. Complete waste of time. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review Ian G So much of this is not in English and has no English subtitles that it is literally a pointless exercise watching it unless I want to wast my life learning French or Arabic Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/06/23 Full Review DJ J Hard to understand all the low ratings. None of the hi impact ridiculous visual effects seen of late in other blockbusters, an intriguing, developing story line, good script, well acted, great locations, well filmed etc etc. Loved it.
