Quick reminder that the NZ show Creamerie has the same concept but as a comedy and is extremely good

 And in terms of a general pandemic apocalypse, Station Eleven is a must. Especially episode 9, which felt a bit like something from Y, and even had an actor from the Y show in it.

 This show was weird. I tapped out after 4 episodes. It really felt like it wasn't meant to be made for TV and the pacing and structure was all messed up. Cool concept and was hoping it'd make it, but just too much good stuff out there.

And Station Eleven is really good.

Sorry for thread Necro but post-mortems are coming out

It’s weird because FX typically doesn’t axe dramas after 1 season but apparently there was just an absolutely massive drop off from the jump and the show was basically hemorrhaging viewers from the word “go”

I’m bummed because I really liked this show and what it was doing but I do agree that the season felt like a 2 hour movie setting up a really interesting show and then 5 episodes that pretty much failed to create any momentum. As a fan of the story I knew what was coming and what to expect and was prepared to give them time to get there and say what they wanted to say, but new viewers didn’t have a reason to hang out and both of the presidents children were hosed up and hatable losers, not gripping protags.

Barry Keoghan was originally cast as Yorick!? That was some inspired casting & wish that version went through.
