    Are you into apocalypse stuff ?

    Well this show starts at very intriguing point. At the very start it piqued my interest and I could not leave without completing the episode. So, starting with story would not disappoint us as its quite fresh, some might say its like a preface to The walking dead but in reality it has certain degree of variation. Story seems to be the best part. Acting wise its alright and same is valid for the background music. Direction and camera work is quite brilliant as it sometimes gives goosebumps. So all in all the show is very engaging and one must not miss it if one is into apocalypse stuff. This show has very good chances of receiving high viewership. Watch this show while its fresh as you might leave it without getting addicted if it arises ambivalent response, it is still in budding phase.

    End of the world drama without the zombies, thankfully!

    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."

    Enjoying it so far

    I've seen some bad reviews here, but I don't understand why. I suppose it's just a matter of individual taste. I've seen two episodes so far and I'm really in to it. The story and writing are very good and the acting also good. We get to see the infection from patient zero, which is nice. So far, we don't know how the infection first originated, although we are told where it came from.

    The characters are interesting. They're good people put in a horrible, terrifying situation. I like seeing how the different people handle what's going on. Things are slowly getting worse for them all. I can't wait to see what's going to happen next. It's a tense, but very human story. I like many of the characters.

    As I said, I don't understand why some people don't like it. All I know, is I'll be watching more episodes.

    Hooked

    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

    Funny how the rating is so different before and during the actual pandemic

    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.
