Pandémie

If I had watched when it first came out 2 months ago, I might not have watched the entire first episode. However, now it is the middle of March immediately after the President declared a National Health Emergency, and I watched the story lines being laid down in the first episode with great interest. These are not actors, they are real people. This is real life. This is about what has happened and what may be about to happen to each of us personally. What a great docuseries! I will probably binge watch this weekend...

This has little to do with science or the flu. It's just a bunch of mini stories about people who work in the industry. This is cringe level stuff: the 45 year old guy who wears leather jackets and rides a skateboard. The young female scientist with a nose ring who seemingly knows nothing. The Indian woman who says she is working on 30 projects at once but pretends to feed her children each meal and read them bedtime stories after playing building games with them. If these are the people on the front lines, we're in deep trouble.

So It's very interesting, science of the diseases, how pros work in the field, how researchers work... But they pack so much unrelated stuff there! Like there's lots and lots of talks about god, religion, lots of happy family time of every main character there, the actual pandemic related info is only like 10% of the series.

I want to watch it, because I want to learn more about pandemic in a video format, but they stuff it with so much filler, that I'm not sure I can continue..

Too much focus on irrelevant things and personal lives. A bit of context is ok but so many boring details without purpose have ruined this series. Better editing would have done wonders to keep it interesting and engaging.

I am stunned by the so many bad reviewers and the rating it received (at the time of writing it had a rating of 5.9*).

I do not know what these people were expecting but this docuserie tells the story of people working on the front line to prevent any pandemic and keep our world safe.

Why you basher cannot even appreciate or value this docuserie on face value? Quiting after a few episodes and than rating it low telling everybody it is bad eventhough you bashers havent seen it all.

Please, give it a shot as it gives you a good inside view of the working life of all those people working to keep our world safe of a pandemic.
