Containment - Eine Stadt hofft auf Rettung

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."

OK i am here to say to everyone who know " Containment " to RUN see " THE CORDON " Original series who was the model of this remake.

1) The story Almost the same, but the action and the drama are a lot better in the original series. The first 2 episodes of the remake are very good but after that, the story become very flat and do not "horrify and shock you" same as the original story.

2) Acting inside the remake, each act is too clean, i don't have seen where they are in pain, it's too superficial and fast and very flat. It is as if the cast are inside a big supermarket and just try to reach the last bottle of cola on the last shelves. It's not realistic. Cast of the original TV show are not of course worldwide icons, Inside the original TV Show you can see pain and real emotions on faces each times the show need it! It's very a big difference, because it's realistic!

3) The Ending The remake don't gives you anything, no horror, no solution, nothing, flat like sea without any wind and boats. The original gives you Horror, all answers, and so many things. THIS IS NOT, THE SAME ENDINGS, FOR A LOT OF CHARACTERS, ON THIS TV SHOW. The original TV Show, gives you more.

I am not from the country of the original TV show and it was strange to see a TV show who was not in English, but after 3 episodes i eat them in one row! Because the original story was really hard and was more interesting in many cases.

Now, you know. I invite you, to watch the original TV show to make your own judgment.

Have Fun :)

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.

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.

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.
