Starring comedian and actor Martha Kelly, "Carol & The End of The World" tackles an end-of-the-world storyline like few other projects do. The miniseries is not about a young wide-eyed protagonist working with a group of scientist do-gooders to save the planet. Nor is it about a character that tries to suddenly cross off their bucket list by doing everything and anything as Earth's clock begins ticking.
When the planet Keppler begins making a hurtling beeline right for Earth, it's estimated that everyone on the planet has less than a year left before everything goes boom. While most folks use the opportunity of Armageddon to party, travel, and accomplish their wildest dreams, Carol, a 42-year-old secretary, falls into a sad and pensive state because, well ... what's wrong with having a clear-cut daily routine?
