Containment - Episode 4 "With Silence and Tears"

Bit of a slower episode to be honest,

Lex's girlfriend manages to make a phone and call him for all of 5 seconds.

Pregnant girl's boyfriend makes an agreement with Theo Green. Theo Green gets him inside in exchange for information. Turns out his two friends on the inside have died of the virus.

People are scared and Lex is worried about making Moral decisions.

Well.. let's see what happens tomorrow shall we?

Good episodes so far, I didn't expect much but the budget is good and it has potential.

Containment - Episode 3, "Be Angry At The Sun"

Things are now worse than then originally seemed. More people are dying than ever and are not believing this terrorism story.

Pregnant girl's mum is getting harassed and her shop is getting robbed because she is putting up food prices ten fold. *Eye Roll*

The supposed 48 hour lock down is turning into three, four days...

A reporter on the outside has people on the inside who are sending him videos and pictures of the dead and what it's like to actually be living in this space. He is then posting this information online and scaring just about everybody. His name is Theo Green. As a result of this, all internet connection is shut down and nobody can make calls in or out.

Bit harsh right? If anything that's going to cause more problems...

Containment - Episode 2, "I To Die You To Live"

Patient zero (Syrian man) is found and he dies. The show starts off with a gruesome autopsy of him, carried out by the doctor previously mentioned. He discovers that the virus is not airborne and is passed through bodily fluids such as kissing, sneezing, blood, etc.

His whole family is taken into quarantine and everyone that they have been in contact with follows suit. Great - the whole virus is fully contained. But wait, oh dear, the Syrian guys kid brother has a girlfriend, where is she? Luckily she is within the borders of containment, but it turns out shes at a house party...

Now this is where the young pregnant couple and the party girl connect - the young pregnant girl's mate was at the same party, and happened to give the pregnant girl a kiss on the cheek - oh no, where is this going?

In episode one we saw an elderly man bringing test rats into the hospital that the teacher (as mentioned in post 1) is taking her students in to to cheer up the elderly. The teacher then meets the doctor. However, this elderly man turns out to be pregnant girls granddad - keeping up? Now the girls pal is confirmed sick and is in quarantine in the hospital.

The hospital lock down is lifted, but the whole containment area has been confined double, in order to contain 40,000 people indefinitely.

Poor Lex's girlfriend is still in the confined zone.

End of episode...

Containment - Episode 1, "Pilot"

I got the impression this new show was about zombies, I think I'm wrong however it is about a similar virus. The only different is, is that is 100% fatal.

It started in Atlanta... I think they could have changed that to be honest. Somewhere new, perhaps? I guess we can see where they got their inspiration from.
From the first episode it appears to obviously be some sort of propaganda. A Syrian man is smuggled in from the Middle East, has this odd, new, genetically altered virus, goes to a hospital and spreads this virus. I guess some sort of bio-terrorism.

It shows the perspective from two couples - a young couple and the girl is pregnant. A middle-aged couple, Lex is a police officer and his girlfriend works with computers (a bit more high-tech than I make it sound). There is also a teacher and a doctor.

By the end of the episode the whole section is contained, hence, "Containment" and the couples are separated.
