Containment

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.

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 :)

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.

So, there's a lot of negativity on here about this show, which is what led me to create and IMDb account and create this review.

My advice? Ignore that negativity, unless, of course, you're a scientist learning how to fight an outbreak by watching a TV show, or if you're a cop... trying to learn how to fight an outbreak by watching a TV show.

This show is entertaining, with some good performances by various actors/actresses, and is compelling in more than one respect. Is it spot-on science, logical policing, and top- notch writing? No. But it never attempts to be, and my opinion is that most of the negative reviews of this show are the result of unrealistic and ill-founded expectations.

To put it plainly: I watched this because I LOVED 'Outbreak,' with Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, Rene Russo, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Kevin Spacey, and Donald Sutherland (amongst others). If you haven't seen it, go watch it. And, before or after you do so, watch this, too. Enjoy it for what it is, and I assure you that you'll be entertained; scrutinize every little detail and section of dialogue, then it surely won't satisfy some need for utter and unadulterated non-fiction.

Something tells me the people that didn't like this show are the same sorts of people that criticized Star Wars for having unrealistic explosions in space. Although I'm obviously not comparing this to Star Wars, some people really just need to get over themselves and learn how to enjoy a good story, regardless of whether it would actually happen this way in the real world.

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
