Station Eleven.
Haven't had a show hit me like this since the Leftovers. Very much shares DNA with that show + Lost + even Utopia (the British series).
Adapted from a novel from a few years ago, where a pandemic has wiped out most of the population. So yeah, the timing of it is weird/unfortunate but that hasn't stopped me from thinking that several of the episodes I've seen so far might be the best episodes of tv I've seen in some time.
Hiro Murai is one of the main directors and if you know who that is and you're anything like me, then it's an instant watch. A couple of recognisable faces Mackenzie Davis, Himesh Patel, but mostly newcomers/stage actors. Matilda Lawler plays a young child and gives as good a performance from a child actor as you're likely to see.
Not for everyone but if you vibe with the early episodes then you'll likely love it. Cannot wait to finish it off.
