After a binge watch of Dark I came across this and thought what the hell - another German series that maybe as good
But it is a very slow burn show
The first 5 episodes are spent setting up the characters, families, connections, rivalries, love affairs and so on
There is an introduction to the virus early on but doesn't really feature in the show again (bar some news reporting) til episode 6 where it then becomes the focus of the episodes
Having finished filming in December 2019 this was a very opportune series for what the world has experienced in the past 6/7 months
