Title: Sisyphus (2021).
Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Drama, Mystery, and Action & Adventure.
Synopsis: An unfathomable incident introduces a genius engineer to dangerous secrets of the world — and to a woman from the future who's come looking for him.
Source [2]:
Mentions Albert Camus's 1942 essay "The Myth of Sisyphus" regarding the absurdity of human life. (Note: This is about the essay/myth, not necessarily the TV show's plot, though it shares a name. I must be careful not to conflate the essay's content with the show's plot unless the source explicitly links them as part of the show's description. The source says "Albert Camus... saw Sisyphus as...", which is a general fact about the essay, not necessarily a plot point of the 2021 show. I will stick to the show's specific details provided in Source 1).
