How do I make the premise of an epsodic series understandable through a one-shot?

Is it dystopian? Monsters have taken over the world kind of thing, and they are survivors?

If so, could they be shown driving by the carcasses of some long dead monsters, maybe make-shift graves at the side of the road? Drawings of monsters they’ve fought before on the walls of the RV - some have been crossed out?

Sometimes it’s fun for the reader not to know what’s going on initially, but they should know by the end of the story. You can keep feeding them little clues and information, like the above.

Alternatively, just go for the obvious, and have the characters candidly chatting about the fact they hunt monsters?
