    Station Eleven

    It’s absolutely criminal how little attention HBO gave this show. It wasn’t even brought to Europe, so you can’t watch it legally over here. But IMHO it’s one of the best TV shows of the past few years, and it’s a complete story so no cliffhangers. It’s also one of the rare cases of a show being better than the book it was based on, and the book was already a bestseller.

      I love it. Have watched it three times. Cried during the last episode the first time I saw it. The book was pretty good, but I agree on the show being better.

        Yeah it was, and the first episode hits quite hard on the heels of covid. I’m sure not everyone was ready for something that apocalyptic, but still.

          I also enjoyed it, but couldn’t convince my wife to give it a try because she was already stressed as fuck with all the situation.
