The Dark Ages

The Dark Ages

Follow a group of dysfunctional 20-to-30-somethings as they navigate the so called “Dark Ages” spanning between “Coming of Age” and “Middle Age.”

The Dark Ages is a light-hearted dark comedy mini-series, jumping between disparate shenanigans and get-rich-quick schemes. After mob dealings turn a group of rich people’s world upside down, the 20-to-30-somethings try to survive by exploiting the worst parts of modern capitalism and embracing the worst parts of themselves. Their immaturity, their selfishness and the skeletons in their father’s closet may lead to their demise.
