Snow Piercer the TV show was also quite grim, although I've not seen the movie version :)

You are right, On The Beach is an epic downer. Good book, tho.

Morena makes everything extra hot. Combine her with Laura Vandervoort in V, and it really gets steamy ;-) .

Okay so no world shattering, but the doctor ordered splosions and senseless violence? Try this: https://www.primevideo.com/detail/The-East/0OUPLE2B3ZTNAUDNFVGJ1RR20O

Most up non-splosion end of the world has to be The Quiet Earth. Four actors wander around New Zealand and Bruno Lawrence gets naked. What's not to like? Especially their reason for being alive.

Thanks for the heads up Greenland was in my to-watch list. Oh my god Black Summer - no one who is kind or generous is positively rewarded. Mind you neither are arse hats. In the fun end of the world category where we once had Saun of the Dead I would like to add Anna and the apocalypse which I really enjoyed. A musical zom-com.
