Snowpiercer (2020 to 2024, 4 seasons, 40 episodes) — IMDb 6.9, RT 75% critics / 62% audience, Metacritic 56.
Premise: Seven years after a failed climate fix froze the planet, the last of humanity lives on Snowpiercer, a 1,001-car train circling the globe forever. It's the Bong Joon-ho film's world stretched into a series: the poor are crammed in the tail, the rich ride in first class, and the show runs on class war, rationing and who controls the engine. Season 1 starts as a murder mystery, with a tail-section ex-detective (Daveed Diggs) pulled up-train to solve a killing, while the woman running the train (Jennifer Connelly) hides a secret about who's really in charge.
How it goes: Season 1 is the revolution. Season 2 brings Sean Bean as Mr. Wilford and a second train, and it's the best-reviewed stretch (88% on RT). Season 3 goes looking for a warm zone on Earth and is where a lot of viewers say it loses the thread. Season 4 moved from TNT to AMC after a two-year gap, got a military-takeover plot, and landed at 45%. The ending is generally considered rushed.
The honest read: it's a soapy, competent basic-cable sci-fi drama with a strong cast and a great hook, not a prestige show. Critics liked the ambition and disliked the writing. Season 2 is the peak, and the back half is a decline most viewers feel.
All 4 seasons are streaming for free on Tubi right now. I just finished it last week and say check it out there and decide if it's worth $10 for a 'permanent' purchase.
