Matt Damon has been a leading figure in the fight against the global water crisis through his work with Water.org.

To raise awareness about this issue, Damon decided to take a different approach and go on strike.
The show follows the story of Matt Damon, who goes on strike to bring attention to the water crisis. The show begins with a press conference where Damon announces his strike, stating that he will not be doing any more charity work until the water crisis is adequately addressed.
As a response to Damon's strike, Pete Holmes, Kate Micucci, and Shay Carl are staging a telethon to raise funds for Water.org. The telethon becomes the central focus of the show - it is a hilarious showcase of the comedic talents of the stars.

Some of the best skits revolve around Matt Damon's striking from all "good deeds," including walking elderly people across the street or helping a girl scout sell cookies.
As the telethon continues, viewers get to see the different ways people are affected by water scarcity, such as women walking miles to get water, children not having access to clean water, and families affected by extreme weather conditions due to climate change.
The series is incredibly effective in raising awareness about the water crisis. Not only does it shed light on the problem, but it also provides solutions. The characters on the show emphasize the importance of access to clean water and sanitation and explain how the water crisis affects billions of people worldwide.
In the final episode of the series, we see the culmination of the telethon efforts. Pete Holmes, Kate Micucci, and Shay Carl's hard work and persistence pay off, and they raise a substantial amount of money for Water.org.
While Matt Damon did not make an actual return from his strike in the show, his efforts were not in vain. The series ends with a message from Damon stating that the funds raised from the telethon will make a significant difference in solving the water crisis.
