Station Eleven (2021–2022)
4/10
Someone was owed a big favour to get this utopian yawnfest greenlighted
20 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Basically, it seems to have no point. It had real potential, but E2 when the Kumbaya Caravan appeared and showed us that was where the series is headed, well I'm out of there

Yawned my way through E2 then fast forwarded through E3 in 5 minutes- all flashback to a character that died before the event.

I fully expect there to be a Polar Bear in E4 lucky for me I'll never know

My main question is, who sits in a room with another 20 people going over the script and doesn't ponder is it both plausible that an audience would watch this and be entertained? Who is the intended viewer here? Fellow thespians? I think that is what we have here, an intellectual chest beat to peers from the production community, "look what I can do"

I would not be surprised to learn that someone who filmed a hair shampoo commercial that was designed to screen in 70 countries was asked to add a create a series about hope through literature in a post-virus landscape.

And there's nothing odd about a theatre letting a 10 year old girl walk around in the snow with a confused man with anxiety recognisable for jumping on stage and....doing nothing.
