This is a disaster movie writ large for TV and the simple fact is, it works despite some none-too-subtle turns. You can’t help being enthralled by a story you wouldn’t want to be a part of.
i love this show!! why is always have to be all right and end well?? this tv show is simply good and is like have to be! i dont see if it will be cancelled but i hope not finnaly i have somenthing to watch!
Everyone has a right to there opinions. I enjoy show and I really like it. It's different than any other show I watched. I found out, they can't returning for second season that's junk though. I look forward to watch Containment every week on Tuesday night's. I hope show move to Hulu or Netflix.
Although Containment may be convincing, it isn’t particularly compelling, because the characters seldom register as anything other than pawns--most of them sacrificial.
Containment has a reasonably suspenseful pilot as directed by David Nutter (Game of Thrones, The X-Files). But as the series proceeds, it just becomes more repetitive and tedious.
While the too-rare action sequences can be thrilling--as when meth heads lay siege to Jana’s office hoping to score some chemicals to huff--such instances aren’t enough to inoculate viewers against the deadly dull.
Plagued by mediocre writing and stubbornly dull acting, this unpleasant misfire feels like slow death as it spins out subplots from Disaster Movie 101. [18 Apr-1 May 2016, p.19]
I really recommend the show. Whether or not it is, it all seems very realistic to me. The acting is great, and what really makes this show interesting is the various perspectives we get to see as the crisis mounts, including the dilemmas that leadership faces, the reasonable concerns and outrage that people inside feel, and so on. And then there are all those near misses where the characters we follow almost meet or interact at times as strangers, which really adds to the whole everyone-has-their-own-problems-and-perspective thing. As a fan of the Walking Dead, this show really fills the void left behind by the end of the season.
First of **** cant expect too much from CW to begin with . The bar is real, REAL low for them. That being said, this show is probably the most interesting on that channel. It has very few likable characters. It has alot of splinter stories from the main arc that are used as filler too much and drag on for too many eps.
However, its still worth a watch as long as you have some way to fast forward thru the filler. Once you do that you get a decent story. One thats been told countless times but still worth a watch IMO. Basically people doing what they do to each other now, just in greater quantities .
A primeira cena já mostra qual o protagonista da série, o vírus. Nenhum personagem me cativou mas o pior deles foi o major, que ator péssimo que escolheram. Certeza que a série vai virar uma espécie de the walking dead com grupos que vão tentar sobreviver em meio à epidemia. Abandonei.
Matt from TV Guide summed it up best: Plagued by mediocre writing and stubbornly dull acting, this unpleasant misfire feels like slow death as it spins out subplots from Disaster Movie 101.
I couldn't have written a better comment. Just terrible.
This show is like watching flaming car crash, you tell yourself you should look away, but find yourself watching anyway. None of the characters have any survival instinct, they are in a quarantined virus outbreak and are constantly taking their protective gear off to show how much they care. One example of the actions of those inside the quarantine in tonight's episode a doctor who just realized he was infected, turns to his co-workers and vomits blood all over them. Yeah, way to care Doc!
