STATION ELEVEN HBO MAX
POSTAPOCALYPTIC TV SERIES
As I usually say - I like to watch apocalyptic shows as you can never be too prepared, and two new cataclysmic series were announced this week. HBO Max has set Mackenzie Davis and Himesh Patel as leads of their ten episode show STATION ELEVEN a post-apocalyptic saga spanning multiple timelines. It tells the stories of survivors of a devastating flu as they attempt to
rebuild and reimagine the world anew while holding on to the best of what’s been lost. David Wilmot, Matilda Lawler, Nabhaan Rizwan, Philippine Velge, Daniel Zovatto, Luca Villacis, Dylan Taylor and Lori Petty will also star in the show based on the international bestseller by Emily St. John Mandel.

THE SWARM GLOBAL SERIES
SETS INTERNATIONAL CAST
Meanwhile, Europe is preparing big-budget series based on the Frank Schätzing best-seller THE SWARM, and has gathered a global cast of stars for the eight part environmental thriller. Cécile de France, Sharon Duncan Brewster, our dearest boo Jack Greenlees (whom we fell in love
with in Harlots), Lydia Wilson, Krista Kosonen, Alexander Karim, Leonie Benesch and Barbara Sukowa will star next to Takuya Kimura, Takehiro Hiera, Rosabell Laurenti Sellers, Dutch Johnson and Joshua Odjick! The series, being done for German ZDF, chronicles the struggle of
humankind against an unknown swarm intelligence that lives in the depths of the sea. When humanity’s pollution and wanton exploitation of the seas disturb this mysterious collective, it strikes back, threatening all human life on earth. The fate of the world rests in the hands of a small group of scientists.

It wouldn't surprise me if the ocean life finally struck back. Did you watch Seaspiracy? That left me feeling sick and angry and what humans do to the oceans. I'm finding it harder and harder to feel sorry for commercial fishing vessels that don't make it back to port.
ReplyDeleteAtlantis finally strikes back.
DeleteThe stories of survivors of a devastating flu..timing couldn't be any better since we are now reaching the end of Covid.
ReplyDeleteWe are watching Katla on Netflix now..the very first Icelandic series for me.
Are you sure we are reaching the end LOL I constantly have a feeling they will come up with something new soon, it will be difficult for them to say goodbye to all the money they are earning from drugs, masks, sanitizers etc.
DeleteIt's the year for disaster stories, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteInspired by reality.
DeleteYou crack me up with the "being prepared". LOL My "being prepared" will be to hide in the bathroom with the kids and cry!
ReplyDeleteI felt much more prepared before as in the old house we had a firethrower (actually it was a tool for throwing fire onto pigs to get rid of their hair after the slaughtering LOL) and now we don't, I don't have any other cool weapons on hand. I think I would die in apocalypse for the sole reason that I don't drive.
DeleteJason has a fire thrower. We’ll come grab you in the event of an apocalypse and he can burn all the bad people that want to harm us. I’ve said it before, but I hope I perish if an apocalypse comes. I am not made for hunting and gathering my own food, living without air conditioning or electricity, or any other modern convenience. I will outlive Jason though. The consensus here is he will more than likely die trying to save my dumb ass from zombies or whatever lol.
DeleteHe is such a badass! He is my idol LOL
DeleteI think I have an axe somewhere in the basement, but I think most of our tools are in the shed so zombies would eat me in the yard before I get there. I couldn't live without AC either, installing AC was the happiest day of my sad life.
