The Cul de Sac presents an apocalyptic world where the adults have disappeared. In this first episode, Rose (Greta Gregory) realises something is very wrong when she leaves home. Meanwhile at the local high school, dictator in the making Doni (Simon Mead) refuses to let anyone inside the building. Rose's sister (Molly Leishman) is in danger of having a medical emergency, Jack (Riverdale's KJ Apa) proves he isn't completely useless, and a dog goes rabid. Created by Stephen J Campbell (Amazing Extraordinary Friends), the sci-fi adventure spanned three seasons.
What appeals to me is the idea of normal people, not superheroes, normal everyday people, suddenly finding themselves in a situation where they're having to deal with the big question of what life is about. Quite basic issues of survival, and how that tests your moral code...we have characters who have sacrificed people to survive.– Cul de Sac creator Stephen J Campbell in The NZ Herald, 14 July 2018
