Containment

My review on "Containment" the pilot was amazing and I see no reason why reviews are so bad on IMDb

I found it refreshing, not especially original, but the pilot kept my attention the whole time.

The premise of the show is what would happen if a biological attack happened in the states or anywhere else in the world, and what would happen next.

Would the infrastructure be there to contain this, and how would this affect the population and what would the detrimental effect be on the immediate population be.

The very first episode hooked me. Eagerly looking forward for the next one, I was kinda desperate to know what will happen next and that made me give 8/10, casting is great, act is fine and the graphics are amazing the intensity hits on the right spot. though it's a very common idea zombie thing and a old one too but classic. Containment puts this classic idea in a unique way. I said zombies but it's little non zombie I believe, I'm sure you will love watching it. i was not bored it's not slow, but i'm afraid that it will become slowish in upcoming episodes. I hope that I don't have to change my opinion. they nailed it in the first one but I'm unsure about what's coming. Peace out LC

They have Protocols ALL wrong in this. I was NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) in the military. First off local police would only be there to direct local traffic in a situation where an unknown biological threat is found. The CDC Homeland Security and even FBI would be there. EVERYBODY would in a military Hazmat suit so that anybody entering the situation is safe. The hospital would have to be a Level one Hospital equip with an Infectious Disease ward where anybody exposed to "patient zero" would be put into. The walls ceilings and floors in Quarantine are all white tile. There are ZERO windows in Quarantine. Nobody is allowed in and everybody who is authorized to be in the ward MUST wear a Hazmat suit at ALL times to prevent risk of exposure. Nothing is allowed in QUARANTINE. NO cell phones, or electronic device. There isn't any TV in the room. All you can do to relieve boredom and maintain any shred of sanity is to count all 2000+ tiles in the room.

I won't go into great detail about the entire list of proper protocol in such a situation. I am watching this miniseries with my hubby who wasn't NBC but Intelligence in the military and we were picking it apart on what they did wrong.

I like the show just that the writers didn't do enough research on protocols when such a situation arrives.

I would rate this series ok. Not extremely good but not bad as most of the review either. People probably think it wasn't going to be possible but as you can see if in the real pandemic situation, nothing is impossible.

There are a few plot that can script better but again, it's not as bad as most of the review indicate. Indeed some of the screen were unnecessary and it does get a little boring here and there.

I love that there is a drama about the end of the world without zombies in it. Although we are only two episodes in, I think this show has a lot to offer. I already feel invested in many (but not all) characters and I am looking forward to new episodes. The scenario at which the show is based on is actually a plausible and scary story.

Major Lex is portrayed magnificently by David Gyasi and Jake Riley (Chris Wood) and Katie Frank (Kristen Gutoskie) are also pulling at my heart. Despite the mixed reviews after only two episodes, this is a show that I would recommend to anyone who likes movies such as Outbreak and 28 Days. It is dark and gloomy story about a contagion and to quote Chris Wood: "4 to 6 feet of love."
