Sløborn

Edit 2022: Season 2 was awesome! If you're into the early seasons of TWD you're in for a treat! No walkers but a similar vibe... currently my favorite post-apocalyptic series!

Although shot in 2019 this series is an amazingly accurate pandemic thriller that doesn't feel like sci-fi at all in mid 2020.

Sløborn anticipated all the social reactions and emotions from scapegoating the outsiders, conspiracy theories or government propaganda frighteningly well.

All in all it's rather slow paced but feels at no time boring or lengthy. I had to binge it in one day and definitely would watch a second season! Kudos to Emily Kusche who plays the main character very convincingly!

The 8-episode series will keep your attention until the end! My recommendation

Slow telling but worth to see it. Many similarities to Covid19

"Sloborn" tries to keep too many balls in the air and ends up dropping them all.

There is simply too many plots and sub plots in this series. It starts to show by the time you are about half way through, as the plots intersect and become more scrambled as the story moves towards its odd ball conclusion.

It does have some merit up to the fourth episode and the acting is decent. I found a number of the characterisations a bit too peculiar and some, deeply unlikable. The abusive cop/father and the druggie author, stand out in this regard.

Not bad but could have been better if the story had been kept simpler and the characters made a little more relatable.

5/10 from me.

No idea why it has sci-fi listed in the description as it is not sci-fi, it is just a drama/thriller. Thought it was a good effort though. No idea when it was filmed but quite relevant as it based around a growing global pandemic. Not familiar with any of the actors but thought there was some decent performances. Hope they do a season 2.
