The internet has it's flaws, sure, as does the easy to use modern media. But when lamenting the moron parade, be sure you don't miss signal due to noise. Web series are one of the positive sides of our modern day. Conventional TV storytelling is hard to break into, but the route of web series allows those with ideas and a dream to put their ideas forth to a global audience. Sure, you still have to break through, but there are those who certainly deserve to.
The Silent City is such a web series. Filmed on a series of actual locations to suggest a world in ruin, it opens with a young man alone in this setting, scavenging to live. Particularly, he comes across what looks to be a treasure trove. But what looks to be a stash of canned goods turns out to be a cache of cash. He ends up using the wads of dollars as fuel for a fire. We never find out his name in the first season, though we do find out he is a determined survivor, that he is lonely, and though he is a formidable fighter, he is not a killer. He is a former submariner who has fallen away from his crew and has been wandering the landscape alone.
Something happened to this world. His ship dove deep on orders. Six months later, they came up to the world as it is now.
The survivor is played by an East Coast actor named Eric Stafford, who actually is a Navy vet who no doubt brought an aspect of that to this role.
Check it out.
