A Hawk from a Handsaw

I like shows where I can emphasize with the main character more. This is not one of them. She seems to be the kind of character who is in a deep conflict with herself about morals and so on, but not in a good way.

Story seems to be awesome, though, so I will keep watching.

This is what this episode is. Different actors that apparently play actors in the movie and are really bad at it.

At this moment if a meteorite would hit the whole camp I couldn't care less. I have no idea what happened with the second episode but it seems like it was made by, not only with different actors, but it seems like the whole production company, directors, and so on, are different.

I hope in the next episode they come back somehow.

Good luck with that!

I really liked episode 1. I was actually extremely surprised! I didn't expect it to be anything above a low end - average sci-fi, just as all of us true, lifelong, sci-fi fans expect from any show.. sci-fi in general, is extremely difficult to perfect.. on top of this, the very 1st episode can often be the true "make or break" of any show.. If it's too boring or slow, too choppy or uneven, if everyone & everything isn't completely on point right from the get-go, chemistry of the cast & crew, if the script or characters are weak or unrelatable, if the cast or crew can't click just right, problems with scheduling or sicknesses (especially during the intentional chinese virus crisis!!), or having problems or any other things happen that are completely out of your control... Basically, EVERYTHING has to be perfect and right away from the jump.. Well, this show basically did everything. All of it right! This started on a very high note!

I really liked the 1st episode because it was so relatable! It was so similar to the start of this real virus.. Every single living person now knows 100%, that what is happening now is possible & something worse in the future is extremely likely if not completely certain! Basically it was like watching a repeat, just way more severe and extreme than the world's current state! Going up a level.

This new 1 is really a completely different show.. an absolute jarring difference between.. too different!

The time line in the case of Station Eleven is only a convention, in novel and in series. The significant thing, in the last case, remains the good craft of adaptation and the fair nuances to story, ignoring, in good measure, loyalty to book but exploring in profound manner, things only imagined by reader.

The basic expectation was, for me, to imagine the Travelling Simphony. And it real works, like the Hamlet performance.

Sure, too early the shadow of prophet but not so unexpected.

An episode beautiful , especially, for details, from Station Eleven to the dialogues.

E02: A Hawk from a Handsaw It is 20 years after the Flu but doesn't worry, we got the flashback exactly in the right place.

It was a little weird what they do to Kirsten character but I might forgive that for the Hamlet sequence is spectacular.
