Episode 5 is the most suspenseful outing in the series since the pilot, one that hits that sweet spot of an apocalyptic thriller without the preaching. Much of the credit should go to the two central performances. Netflix’s The White Tiger star Adarsh Gourav is undeniably great, and Gaz Choudhry is best known for being a wheelchair basketball player/athlete in England.
Here is what happened in Extrapolations Season 1 Episode 5:
- Gaurav is a young man hired to drive a truck for 10,000 euros with Neel, a soldier from Britain of East Indian descent.
- They do not know what they are transporting, but it is essential. The police are tipped off by someone they are smuggling illegal cargo. When they are about to kill Gaurav, Neel steps in and shoots them.
- They are being tracked by an assassin who hired Nicholas Bilton, the owner of Alpha Industries. She is watching them from a drone.
- They arrive at the madam’s business, wanting them to drive the canisters filled with seeds and a genetic scientist to Amritsar.
- Bilton’s assassin intercepts them after Neel has a heat stroke trying to save a young boy. While in a small village, returning the boy and Neel resting, she moves. Neel is killed, but the boy’s mother saves Gaurav by stabbing her in the neck.
- Gaurav shoots down the drone and delivers the seeds and genetic scientist. It finally rains when he returns to the village where Neel was killed.

Predictions
- Nichalos Bilton has his hands in every episode, one of the few characters to connect each outing of the anthology series. I predict Bilton is reaching anti-hero status, trying to change his ways to save the world. However, he will kill anyone who gets in his way.
- Did Rowan’s geoengineering manipulation work? It rained at the end of the episode. The first time in decades. It appears the message of the series is that if we break it, we can fix it.
- I hope he returns, but I don’t see Adarsh Gourav returning, which is a shame. This was the best performance and episode of the series so far.
- How will the seeds and the genetic scientist alter the rest of the series? I think Bilton will sabotage their efforts.
