I had stumbled on this series on IFC back around 2018. I only saw a few episodes before IFC quit showing it.
I stumbled upon it a few months ago lurking around tubi. I been watching about an episode a week since New Years and finished up last night on tubi.
The premise is interesting and keeps you glued to the screen watching how the characters deal with not getting any sleep. The series takes place over a period of 7 days. It is told humans have 14 days before total collapse, with this told the series could have went for 4 or possibly 5 seasons to conclude the story.
I looked into it and found out it originally was a Web Series. It only lasted for 2 seasons before getting cancelled. Season 1 has 6 episodes and Season 2 has 8.
By the end of season 2 majority of the storylines had been closed and it was setup to go into a season 3. You can watch it as a limited series. The main subject on who kicked in the insomnia is not answered, but clues are given it was either man made or a natural phenomena.
Synopsis
After a two-day drug binge, addict Jake awakes and ventures out into the quiet streets, unaware that most of the world has died in their beds. He teams up with a scrappy teenager, overnight doctor and red-eye pilot to search for answers.
