An Underrated Sci-fi Series Is Hiding on HBO Max (And the Ending Is a Wild One)

The Swarm is an eight-part eco-thriller inspired by the popular novel by Frank Schätzing. The story starts with strange and dangerous events happening in the oceans around the world. Off the coast of Canada, whales suddenly become aggressive, attacking and sinking ships. In France, a deadly disease spreads among lobsters, contaminating the seafood. And deep in the North Sea, a new type of ice worm threatens to cause massive tsunamis by weakening the seabed. An international team of scientists must join forces to investigate, and they soon discover these events aren’t random – they’re coordinated attacks. The central mystery of The Swarm is the identity of the attacker: a hidden intelligence from the deep ocean that seems to be at war with humanity.
