The HBO Max series 'Station Eleven,' based on Emily St. John Mandel's novel, is set in a post-pandemic dystopian future — and somehow isn't a total bummer. Alan Sepinwall's review
The first episode in particular feels like a high barrier to entry, albeit a necessary one, as it depicts the period immediately before the apocalypse and then the terrible day when the world seemingly dies all at once. There are some interesting inversions of what we know from Covid times — a young Kirsten and her accidental guardian Jeevan go on a shopping spree at a grocery store devoid of people but full of food — but it’s still rough sledding even in the age of vaccine boosters.
We see the adult Kirsten, for instance, draw on difficult memories of her early pandemic days with Jeevan and Jeevan’s disabled brother Frank to help inform herperformance. The elliptical nature of time is beautifully conveyed by Murai and other directors like Helen Shaver, and Dan Romer’s score is an absolute knockout, elevating moments that are already emotionally potent to the point where they almost feel unfair.
