I can't remember what it was called though.

Basically, a group of female bio terrorists kill 99% of men and women take over the world, cue lots of lesbian scenes and thinly veiled bigoted commentary about women being useless and inherently evil

It was an episode of The Outer Limits too. But that one had the opposite message that men were the useless threats to peaceful life and all the women were lovely.

Doesn't sound too dissimilar to Hell Comes To Frogtown, a lamentable Rowdy Roddy Piper shiter from the mid-80s.

John Oliver

The only winning shows I've actually watched are Last Week and The Crown. The Crown was standard costume drama you'd find on ITV normally so I don't know why it's getting so many awards.
