Many, many narratives have imagined apocalyptic scenarios, spinning off that high-concept idea into action (the Mad Max series), comedy ( The Last Man on Earth), and horror ( The Road). This adaptation, which follows the bones of the novel's narrative yet makes some significant changes, is simply, starkly beautiful. John Mandel's wistful speculative sci-fi novel was released in 2014, when the idea of a global killer flu was something for apocalyptic horror novels and movies.
STATION ELEVEN IMDB SERIES
Powerful, elegiac, and entirely too realistic for those who have lived through an epidemic or pandemic, this series has profound things to say about life, loss, and the human spirit. Expect sudden, shocking deaths and an overall haunted atmosphere, but this drama also has powerful messages about the adaptability and strength of the human spirit and our ability to connect to each other even in the worst circumstances. Unfortunately, there are also disability stereotypes.
The show is female-led actors of color have important, nuanced roles and same-sex romances are normalized. Language includes "f-k" and "a-hole." A grocery shopper buys several bottles of liquor when stocking up on supplies for a siege. Sexual content isn't graphic, but characters flirt, date, kiss, and marry. Violence is generally not graphic, but a character does get mauled by a wild animal, there's an abrupt stabbing, and the show's overall tone can be grim: Scenes show terrified crowds of sick people, dead and decayed bodies, a desolate landscape, a visibly decayed city bare of people. A traveling theatrical troupe confronts a religious zealot as the story moves back and forth in time to show us how troupe members are connected with others in ways they didn't expect. John Mandel's same-named 2014 novel about a post-apocalyptic society. Both shows have a plan for their conclusion, and they’re worth investing in because the payoff is guaranteed.Parents need to know that Station Eleven is adapted from Emily St. These shorter lengths make it easier to engage as a viewer, as going in you know that the emotional scenarios you are watching won’t occupy your time for too long. Similarly, Station Eleven makes additions to the novel, but its story is wrapped up in a tight 10 episodes. While The Last of Us is already a hit, it’s not going to overstay its welcome, as Mazin has suggested that there will be only two seasons in order to properly adapt the original game. While there are certain works of art that stand the test of time, as Shakespeare is prominently featured, there’s also been enough of a gap that new traditions, pieces of art, and cultural icons have emerged due to the societal upheaval, none of these new customs have become widespread. Similarly, Station Eleven halts the timeline in 2020, and so the culture that exists then evolves by the time Kirsten is an adult. It’s interesting to see how The Last of Us resets our understanding of events, as in this world Barack Obama was never elected President. Both Tommy and Frank are optimistic in nature, which is contrasted by Joel and Jeevans’ more bitter attitudes. Similar to Joel’s relationship with his brother Tommy ( Gabriel Luna), the sibling dynamic between Jeevan and Frank adds a bit of context and creates some light banter. Neither Joel nor Jeevan was expecting to have anyone to look out for but themselves Joel is still in grief two decades later, and Jeevan has to suddenly adjust to a mentor role by hiding out with his brother Frank ( Nabhaan Rizwan). It’s also quite notable that both shows feature an unexpected paternal figure who has to adjust their perspective after caring for a young girl. He’s no parent and has little experience with children, but Jeevan sees a child in danger and keeps Kirsten safe in his apartment as he plans for the future it makes the future even more powerful when we see how an older Kirsten ( Mackenzie Davis) retains that kindness. Jeevan desperately attempts to save the man’s life before he dies and ends up watching over a young cast member named Kirsten ( Matilda Lawler). Beyond establishing how the shows will address depth, they both give the viewers to invest in a sympathetic lead character. Station Eleven also begins with a shocking death - paramedic Jeevan Chaudhary ( Himesh Patel) is watching a production of King Lear in Chicago when the lead actor shockingly collapses on stage similar to how Sarah’s death comes from a gunshot and not a zombie, there’s a grim realism to this actor’s death of natural causes.
