A precautionary tale that lays bare the fragility of human society, six-part post-apocalyptic drama "Earth Abides" is, remarkably, the first on-screen adaptation of George R. Stewart's seminal 1949 novel. Charting the sudden collapse of civilization, it's inspired numerous works, including Stephen King's "The Stand", Jimi Hendrix's "Third Stone from the Sun", and the BBC's "Threads".
Here's how you can watch "Earth Abides" online and from anywhere with a VPN.

Ish (Alexander Ludwig), an accomplished geologist working in seclusion, recovers from a snake bite to discover that a pandemic has all but wiped out the human race. After spending years traversing back and forth across America in search of sustenance, he meets a kindred spirit in Emma (Jessica Frances Dukes).
Together, they form a tribe, having children and welcoming in other survivors. Over time, the last vestiges of the old world, such as electricity, fail, and despite Ish and Emma's tireless efforts to preserve and harness the world's collective knowledge, with every setback — which in this new reality could be a minor illness, an animal attack or a poor harvest — the next coming of the Dark Ages marches ever closer.
Read on to see how you can watch "Earth Abides" from anywhere in the world.
