Station Eleven

miaparker shared a tip "I watched the entire series & just couldn’t connect with any of it or any of the characters except for the nice relationship formed between Jeevan & young Kirsten in the first 3 episodes. Arthur & Miranda’s relationship was interesting. But, yeah, too slow-moving for me & I’m not a huge fan of dystopian SciFi."

rob_paul_4714 shared a tip "Yes it’s odd, and slow. It’s about love, and loss, and healing, and reconnecting. It really touched me, in ways that surprised me. Especially episode 9. There’s is a payoff if you make it to the end."

psychobabblellc shared a tip "For me, this series was a balm. The idea that in times of trouble, our creativity can soothe our souls and bring us back together - well, it was one I sorely needed. http://www.psychobabblellc.com/?p=289"

chris_emza shared a tip "If you liked Maniac as much as I did, you might like this, like a lot "It's so pretentious!" - Leavin' Jeevan The show started off a bit slow for me, and I wasn't really digging the whole theater group aspect, but with every episode I felt a deeper connection with this world and the characters that occupy it. I thought a lot about the current pandemic. I thought how deeply I care for some of the people I have not had the chance to see for a very long time. It made me think about the stale connections we have through social media. Station Eleven is a beautiful, but somewhat flawed show. Overall, it ended on a very high note, and I can't wait for Patrick Somerville's next project. Also, I love Dan Romer's scores, and he kills it in this once again"

kimmy_w shared a tip "MATILDA LAWLER IS A STAR YOU GUYS!!!! and also this was just hauntingly beautiful. really messed with my brain but it was all worth it in the end"

claire_freeman_8903 shared a tip "I’ve got some questions?? Spoiler Alert!! Can anyone tell me how Kirsten got the Station 11 book back? Early on in the series she says she hid it in Gil’s office at the country club but later we see Jheevan going to get it after he threw it in the snow. He gets attacked but still has the book on him. Then when he goes back to look for Kirsten she is gone. Where or with whom did she go?? How did she get the book back? And how did the group get through that minefield??"

claire_freeman_8903 shared a tip "Btw I and my family lived through Hurricane Hugo in September of 1989 here in Charleston SC so this was interesting for that reason. We even had the NBC news crew (the hurricane chasers) staying with us & broadcasting live from our living room!"

kelseyannb shared a tip "One of the most moving series in the last decade. Also a totally unique take on the genre of post apocalyptic imaginations. Very human. Incredible plot. Do not sleep on this one."

mina_m_5414 shared a tip "BRILLIANT. Don't give up until you've seen the first three episodes. I promise once the show finishes introducing itself to you, you will absolutely love it."

rayray_goreng shared a tip "Big disappointment. I can understand why they changed the plot so the story would fit a 10hr mini-series, but they really lost the plot: the book was about Kirsten. The TV series is about Tyler--his was the only character that got to experience significant growth because of Shakespeare and Hamlet blah blah blah."

tracey_lowenstein shared a tip "“Liked” it just to say, didn’t like the book. Not surprisingly, also did not like the show. And why can we only comment after we “like” something, not dislike? @Likewise"

josh_elman shared a tip "Finished Station Eleven. Cried. It’s spectacular and intimate. I get if you aren’t ready, to watch a pandemic show. But you should. Somerville created a masterpiece. Best Eleven since Spinal Tap."

kasey_navarro shared a tip "Station 11 - #hbomax This was pretty good… plus finally something new to watch. It says it first aired Dec 16th, but all the episodes are up. They must have dropped them all at once? We just found this tonight. Easy binge, reviews are decent, and those that read the book say the adaptation was good."

heather_sink shared a tip "I really had no interest at first watching this, but I gave it a go and it was so good - I immediately started it over to watch it again. You have to watch ever second!! I am not going into details bc I do not want to spoil it."

patricia_8402 shared a tip "Full disclosure, I read the book in 2018 and loved it. That said, I watched the series in 2023... and loved it even more. Not more than the book, but more together. The series hit differently since the pandemic. Since I lost the man I loved. Since the isolation and a new, quiet kind of fear. I get that it won't be for everyone, but give it a go anyway."

lysandra_chapman shared a tip "Everything I want in a show. Post-apocalyptic and bleak with a Shakespearean acting troupe and sci-fi graphic novel that guides and connects the main characters."

gb_rogo shared a tip "Very compelling drama, with complex characters, and intriguing plots. The flashback episodes are constantly the best parts of the show"

theanticlara_agenda shared a tip "such a powerful story about grieving and moving forward, so emotionally powerful had me sobbing. the parallels between the comic, hamlet, and the storylines are so cool! the set and costuming has to be some of the most creative ive ever seen. such an interesting story that did the book justice. every change they made from the book felt thought out and enhances the story. i’m not gonna forget this show anytime soon <3"

SupremeAnu shared a tip "This is a show that requires patience to watch, it's a slow burn and very character driven, but I think that's a good thing. I've never read the source material, but the show is so good that I have picked it up. It's extremely relevant to today's events. I love how the characters are all interconnected and it feels like the plot is playing chess with time. More importantly, I love Miranda's character and how something she never wanted to show anyone becomes so central to the plot."

heather_sanchez_9888 shared a tip "Great storyline and I loved how in depth the characters were! I also loved how everything was connected in some way. Very dark at times but was worth the watch!!"

rachel_ostrom shared a tip "Yes! Except I read the book, and the show is much much different than the book. So just know that going into it (if you have read the book!)"

bethany_morris_1265 shared a tip "Yes, it differs from the book so it becomes its own story. The first episode is all set up and a little boring but it picks up after that. For a post apocalyptic show its quite lovely… in that Shakespeare dark kind of way."

jason_cox_6229 shared a tip "I have a hard time saying any show is better than the book but they knocked it out of the park with this adaptation. Amazing series."

shelby_evans_417 shared a tip "Reminds me of Dark with the time hopping seemingly disparate story lines woven together but more tethered to a real world apocalyptic theme."

ibrahim_buyckes shared a tip "My favorite series of the year thus far. A story about a pandemic/Apocalypse, but with so much heart rather than doom and desperation. "Survival is insufficient.""

jamby shared a tip "I liked it, but not sure what the hype is about! I get the relevancy to what we're living through, but it was a little underwhelming. The acting and the story was something new and creative, but nothing to write home about in the end."

diane_pia shared a tip "I loved the book and the mini-series is doing it justice. Beautiful portrayal of people finding meaning post-pandemic. Hits especially hard after the past 2 years."

michael_carr_4690 shared a tip "It took me a while to start watching because the subject matter cuts a little close to the bone. I'm so glad I jumped in. It's nothing like I expected."

michael_kopczynski shared a tip "Yess! Such a heartwarming show. It’s only 10 episodes and so well crafted. A beautifully told story of how even in the worst times, the human condition shows it’s true colors."

jess_d_5275 shared a tip "So. Effing. Great. I sobbed at the end; I couldn't stop. Shared the best attributes of eg my favorite ever, The Leftovers--not just the plot, the humanity and the frailty. This is a must see, no excuse not to!!"
