So I think this a time where I am rather baffled by reviews on IMDB. Glowing over-the-top fantastic ones vs let's burn the film then stir the ashes with a stick so it doesn't reanimate. I liked it. I'm a ridiculous mutitasker and will do online whatever with my phone while watching (read: listening to) shows. I put down the phone with this show. An English speaking show. The whole time. Granted, ever since I read The Stand by King at 11 yrs old, I've been fascinated with viral, end of the world sagas (with or without zombies) so the premise is one of my favorite genres in horror/thriller. Here's what you need to know. Yes, they take some damned liberties with the medical aspect. But, c'mon people, would you seriously watch a show where you have nothing but scientists testing unknown viral agents at the CDC? Y'know, a process that could take months or years with average looking doctors in lab coats?? What transpires after a 100% mortality rate virus reeks havoc thru a small portion of a city can happen. Quarantine can and has happened. Do they take dramatic license? Of course. It's FICTION. The acting? I did not see what some of the 1 star reviewers saw. The acting is fine, occasionally quite good. And, dear god, being a horror junkie, I've watched some seriously cringeworthy movies with the most stilted of scripts. That is not this series. It warrants a viewing. At least at the pilot. Not for you, move along. I will say there's no way this is less than 6 stars.
