“Some must employ the scythe upon the grasses,
that the walks be smooth for the feet of the angels”
- Philip Larkin (1922-1985)
The Blackouts is a transgressive time travel thriller that is sometimes disguised as an irreverently comic coming of age tale.
The series follows Cassie, a college dropout turned fast-food delivery girl who meets the woman of her dreams, joins a gang (who might be from the future) and goes on a killing spree in an attempt to save the world. Equal parts mindfuck, ribtickler, nerve shredder and heartwrencher, The Blackouts is a story about the extreme things we’d do for love and what we become without it.
An original series written by Johnny Allan, in Development with NBC Universal.
