US: Station Eleven (HBO MAX just like the matrix!)

[arknor]

A post apocalyptic saga spanning multiple timelines, telling the stories of survivors of a devastating flu as they attempt to rebuild and reimagine the world anew while holding on to the best of what's been lost.

Based on a Book that was written before the pandemic and AFAIK they started filming before the pandemic but got delayed until now because of the pandemic...
so not a covid cash in.

3 eps out so far and then 2 per week until the finale.

I watched 2 eps and it seems kinda slow going, maybe that's why 3 came out at once...

Why does it say Covid in the thread title? It has literally nothing to do with Covid.

it's a flu pandemic so it might as well be

2 more eps are out.

Getting better and better imo.

first 3 eps honestly was half tempted to not try anymore but glad I gave it another chance

still a bit slow but you can see the momentum slowly building towards something

ep5 totally loved it the CEO whisperer guy is awesome... finally a show with believable characters and good dialogue in 2021.....
