Seattle Superstorm

Right now you can watch Seattle Superstorm in the US on Fawesome — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. A 5/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Esai Morales — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Fawesome.

Seattle Superstorm arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Seattle Superstorm treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. An object is shot down over Seattle and the debris begins to affect the local weather, ultimately threatening the whole world. Esai Morales and Ona Grauer lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It hit screens in 2012. What separates Seattle Superstorm from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Seattle Superstorm fits the bill. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Esai Morales anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.
