Think Cloud Atlas meets Contagion crossed with The Leftovers. A few plot contrivances towards the end but otherwise its one of the best limited series Ive ever seen, period. Beautifully shot, well-acted, incredible costume and set designs, and the score is amazing.

HBO has a great track record with limited series of late (Sharp Objects, The Night Of, the original season of Big Little Lies, Chernobyl) and Station Eleven is right up there with the best of them.

Not enough people are talking about this. Go watch if you havent already.

I will agree that it is Phenomenal!

A few episodes in, I began thinking that this may be the best thing I've ever watched. When I try to describe it to others...I'm at a loss due to how unique it is.

Every aspect of this series is done to the highest level. It's like the decision makers nailed every choice, from casting to the music to cinematography...

Bravo HBO...bravo

I actually read this book in like November 2019 just prior to COVID happening just to give you an idea of how freaked out I was.

I liked the book. It was good, not great.

What genre would you call it...?

It's Dystopian certainly, but so much more than that.

Would fully endorse it and Sharp Objects.

Will say that Station Eleven takes a few episodes to grab you. Watched the first few and it was eh, took a long break and picked it back up and got sucked in. I think it just defies expectations about what it's really about, but doesn't start showing that hand for a bit.

I thought it was interesting, some of the pacing was off IMO though and I don't like how they tried to make us feel sorry for a sociopath that literally used children as suicide bombs. I mean, I'm sorry the world ended and they locked you and your mom in quarantine for two weeks but killing children is kind of an empathy breaker for me...

It's easy to miss but, Tyler explains that while he was incapacitated from the stabbing, one of the other children(Hayley) began to tell the other children a new story. She is the one that got the kids to wear the mines, not Tyler.

Yeah, I loved the first episode (made even creepier having lived in Chicago and recognizing a lot of the places). The next few were just ok, and confusing piecing the timeline together.

It all comes together beautifully, though.

Yup, and this is confirmed in the last episode, the girl that approaches the airport and steals the book is the same girl.

Ill forewarn you, the show is drastically different from the bookthe plot departs pretty wildly and I think the themes that are explored are different, and explored in different ways.

I caught that but it's total cop-out bullshit. He'd been indoctrinating these kids for months, years, and he's gone for a few days and they suddenly become suicide bombers? Nah, that's bullshit. He obviously taught them those guerilla tactics...
