Since I have neither the professional obligations nor the patience, it’s on to the next show. But I’m glad I stuck with it…” Chicago Tribune More than I might have invested, were it not for professional obligations.

“If you can keep track of the diverse characters young and old, randomly ricocheting through time, and enjoy a bit of the Bard… this ensemble sci-fi series envisions the post-pandemic future and offers a variety of fictional possibilities.” TheWrap The trailer gives some hope of better days to come. After each episode, the director spends ten minutes explaining what you just saw.

Not having read the book, I found the episodes difficult to follow. Notwithstanding clunky editing, Deadwyler really stands out even as she is stranded in faraway Malaysia.Ī synopsis of the book indicates that this version of Station Eleven deviates from the source. Thus far, Matilda Lawler (young Kirsten), Himesh Patel (Jeevan) and Danielle Deadwyler (Miranda) outshine them. “I remember the damage.” “This is where the wheel begins.” Station Eleven is a catharsis for Miranda, but what is its meaning to Kirsten? Evil is on the horizon.įor their recent portrayals in Terminator: Dark Fate and Mozart in the Jungle, Mackenzie Davis (Kirsten) and Gael Garcia Bernat (Arthur) are the most well known of the actors. Kirsten keeps a copy which provides her solace after Arthur and her family perish in the pandemic. Now, ten days before the pandemic, Miranda returns to Chicago with a final version of Station Eleven. When he cheats on her with Elizabeth, Miranda destroys her works, including her book, Station Eleven. Years before the pandemic, Arthur, an actor, persuades Miranda, an artist/logistics expert, to join him in California. It receives a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating with a more reasonable 6.6/10 IMDb score. Who are “the monsters?” Taking too long to get anywhere, I give Station Eleven 3.5 Gavels. Kirsten is now quite protective of her younger friend, Alex. This group of entertainers travels around like gypsies bringing Shakespeare and music to surviving colonies. Fast forward to Year 20 in Episode Two, and Kirsten is with her new family, the Traveling Symphony. Eighty days later, Jeevan and Kirsten leave the apartment to cross frozen Lake Michigan.īeautifully filmed and acted, Station Eleven gets off to a good start. Jeevan’s sister, a doctor, advises him to find his brother and build a barricade. A patron, Jeevan, offers to take her home after her “wrangler” suffers a similar fate. Her mentor, Arthur Leander, collapses and dies on stage.

But, if you want to experience the world in Year 20, then climb aboard Station Eleven for seven more episodes Thursday nights through January 13th.Įpisode One finds eight year old Kirsten in Chicago as the pandemic begins. After two years of COVID, the thought of a more deadly virus is not my idea of entertainment. And, can you really stomach any more pandemic? In the ten-part series, this flu has a kill rate over 99%. Based on the 2014 novel which sold 1.5 million copies, this HBO work of art is more herky-jerky than a Mexican jumping bean. After three episodes of Station Eleven, I am more convinced than ever that Hollywood is incapable of telling a story in a linear fashion.
