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.
Wasn't released at the same time as covid? It had a bad timing sadly.
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.
