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.

Remember when we weren't sure, does the mask protect you or protect them?

This how transports you to the uncertainty that surrounded the beginning of the current pandemic. Is that a sin, is it a sin to enjoy this dramatisation? I am not sure, but.

An average of 7 is a crime for this show. For sure, this needs to be watched when you are ready with regards to the pandemic, I imagine many negative scores relate to those who are not ready. Incredible to see current events foreshadowed so accurately. Very high standard of acting, dialogue, script. Believability waned slightly towards the end but we want an exciting show non? Laughing and rooting for characters in the closing stages.

Highly engaging and did Not get boring as some suggest!

Great drama with great characters. The actors are superb and the storyline flows. Not a dull moment! Obviously very relevant to present day situation taking it a few steps further, showing us where this all could end.

They keep calling the disease "pigeon flu" implying it is in the corona virus family like SARS, covid-19, etc but clearly the physical symptoms and high mortality clearly show it is a hemorrhagic fever like Ebola. On an island it would have been very possible to isolate and contain the infected but that would have not allowed the later extreme plot events. There are some interesting subplots and intriguing characters however, certain decisions made by major characters strain credulity and one character's particularly heinous action is very unbelievable given the person is not a sociopath. There are other characters who attain measures of personal redemption. All in all it is an OK apocalyptic story but it is clear that the plot was designed all along to achieve a certain ending for certain characters and set the stage for a second possible series..

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