Rabia

Don't ask me how I made it through all eight episodes of this show. It's the story of a group of people who somehow got contaminated with something that makes them turn into monsters. The contaminant lies dormant & the infected person is totally normal until the contagion gets activated. Once the contagion takes over, there's no cure, no stopping them, just gotta lock them up or shoot them.

So a group of infected gather at an abandoned farm to hide out from the police. Of course, they can't stay there forever because the police will eventually find them. Cue the tension, conflicts, and drama.

First the superficial stuff: too many implausible details. For example, they never worry about running out of food. In fact, they never seem to eat or cook (why bother if you don't eat, I guess). They are constantly firing guns yet never seen to run out of ammo, and their car never runs out of gas, until of course it's necessary for a plot twist. Plus really annoying details like one of the group stealthily lifts the cell from a cop they captured - while everyone is staring at the unconscious cop & you can see her taking the phone plain as day. Or when a cop somehow snatches a computer access card from a lab tech, even though the tech is wearing it on a lanyard around his neck. It gets worse, like the cheap makeup for the infected who have gone rabid. Many more details that make no sense; these are but a few.

I plowed through eight episodes because I wanted to see how it ended. Wow, was that a waste of time. The series lacks a clear & definitive end. They clearly left the door open for another season. As bad as the show is, the producers were way too optimistic.
