Synopsis
Enden Er Nær – Brødrene Madsen is a 2007 Danish documentary series led by brothers Anders and Peter Lund Madsen, who embark on a captivating journey into humanity’s most pressing existential questions. Blending science, philosophy and dark humor, each episode tackles a different scenario for how life on Earth might end — from climate collapse and pandemics to nuclear warfare and artificial intelligence. The Madsen brothers travel across Europe to meet with experts: climatologists, ethicists, virologists and AI researchers. Along the way, they pepper serious discussions with witty banter and relatable analogies, making complex ideas accessible without diminishing their gravity. This thought-provoking series invites viewers to confront fears of the future while celebrating human resilience and curiosity.
Reviews
IMDb users have given Enden Er Nær – Brødrene Madsen a solid 6.7/10 rating based on over 214 user votes, praising its unique blend of humor and depth. While there is no official Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes and no entry on Metacritic, several Danish outlets offered thoughtful critiques. Politiken awarded the series 4 out of 6 stars, noting “the Lund Madsen brothers guide us through existential topics with disarming humor, turning bleak forecasts into engaging conversations.” Berlingske Tidende was even more enthusiastic, granting 5 out of 6 stars and calling it “a clever fusion of scientific rigor and satirical wit that keeps viewers both informed and entertained.” Film magazine Ekko highlighted the show’s “refreshing willingness to laugh in the face of doom, without ever trivializing the stakes.” Some critics felt the series occasionally leans too heavily on comedy, which might undercut moments of genuine urgency, but most agree that its balanced, accessible approach makes Enden Er Nær a standout in the crowded field of science documentaries.
