War. Sci-Fi. Thriller. Action

Future soldiers Stripe (Malachi Kirby) and Raiman (Madeline Brewer) must protect frightened villagers from an infestation of vicious feral mutants. Technologically, they have the edge – but will that help them survive? This dark military story stars Malachi Kirby (Roots) as Stripe, a young soldier on a mission.

	Media	Author	Review
		Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"'Men Against Fire' might be the darkest installment, digging into the nature of wartime, though its twists aren’t quite on par with other episodes."
		AV Club	"It tells its story patiently but without dragging, and it offers just enough surprise and insight to make something familiar worth revisiting."
		Tim Molloy The Wrap	"One of the most powerful visual accounts of how war actually works."
		Tristram Fane Saunders Telegraph	"Training scenes, military manoeuvres and urban raids feel competent and familiar, rather than fresh or exciting (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Digital Spy	"[It] isn't likely to be an episode that blows people away, but it's quietly effective."
