Alerte contagion

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."

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.

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'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.

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.
