The series follows an epidemic that breaks out in Atlanta, leaving the large city quarantined and those stuck on the inside fighting for their lives. The drama tells the story of loved ones torn apart, and how the society that grows inside the cordon reveals both the devolution of humanity and the birth of unlikely heroes. Written by Patricia Peña Hdez.
Basically, "Containment" is based on a popular Belgian series called "Cordon" but as a whole it's just another poor example of remaking successful European movies/series. I found the original Belgian drama to be quite gripping from the very start and as the story developed, it got better and better.
However this could not be said at all about "Containment" which seemed to me very chaotic and the acting was uninspired and not convincing at all. Compared to the original series where the characters were realistic and very engaging, here the cast didn't do justice to the story and the acting was flat and one dimensional. Even the overuse of cheap cinematographic tricks and dramatic music couldn't save it.
So please ignore the bad acting and the even poorer script here and watch "Cordon" instead! Personally I am hoping for another season of the Belgian series!
