8/10

This is a good thriller series from Russia. The series was developed and created back in 2019 long before anybody was thinking of Covid-19.

If you are a conspiracy theorist thinking the Govt is somehow involved with the virus. This is your show.

The premise is nothing new and nothing spectacular. But the series puts a new spin on the subject.

The series is mainly character based and deals with character development thru-out unlike other series like it where they do it in the first episode. Not much is given on the virus and its very rarely dealt with thru-out the series. The premise is mainly on how folks react to the event.

There is a lot of predictable moments thru-out the series, but when they happen there usually is a twist or different way it ends. There are a large number of "I Was Not Expecting That" moments thru-out. Whoever created, directed and wrote for the series plays on that thru-out which makes it interesting.

The series is very slow placed, but each episode has its moments of suspense that will keep you interested. If you suffer from TV ADHD, you will have to deal with it as the show plays out. Episode 6 gives you insight on the main characters past which will explain their behavior and relationships that happened in earlier episodes.

If you want to watch it with your girl. There is a interesting sub-plot with the main male character and the 2 women who are part of his life and he has a child with each one. Their story and how it plays out will definitely interest your girl and you.

Violence is minimal but graphic. There is female nudity with good shots of boobs, booty's and some groin area, not much for male nudity, just butt shots. There are a few sex scenes, nothing graphic or exciting.

There are 8 episodes running about 50 minutes each. Being this is a very slow paced show, I would not recommend binge watching it. It took me the past 3 weeks to view all the episodes to allow me to watch and soak them in. I usually watched 1 or 2 episodes a sitting.

Netflix has it dubbed in English. When you start watching it, the voices don't seem to match up with the characters look. It kind of has the feel of those 1970s era Kung-Fu flick. You get over it by the end of episode 2.

If you looking for something interesting to watch being not much new is coming out on network TV, theaters or anywhere else, this should hold you over.

And with the last scene and some other events in the season finale, it looks like season 2 is gonna kick it into full gear with action.

Synopsis

Faced with a terrifying virus that turns Moscow into a city of the dead, survivors set off on a long, dangerous journey north to find an isolated hunting lodge on a deserted island.
