I've been to Auschwitz, I've stood where those poor people stood, and I was affected in a way I never thought possible when I walked around the remains of that camp... It makes watching this even more harrowing and at times incredibly difficult. You will be moved to tears on many occasions while watching this piece of stunning television. It's a very tough watch but totally worth every minute. It's a solid 10/10 from me and just incredible.
Fantastic mini series, it keeps you guessing until the end.
Brilliantly executed, keeps the suspense going until the end.
My only criticism is the final episode; it gives the ending away too early in the episode. I’d have liked to have been left guessing until the final scene.
Highly recommend.
So I went into this with not many expectations, and every episode sucked me in deeper.
Every time a series has 3 main characters, I often only get really interested in one of them, sometimes 2 if it's a longer running series. But this series has me interested in all three of the main characters by the end of season 1. Great job and can't wait for more of this!
It was surprisingly good. I liked it and I look forward to watch season 2.
EASILY one of the best shows this year and this thing is flying under the radar as far as I can tell which is a shame. The first five episodes in the hospital are incredibly transportive due to the cinematography, set design, and performances. Every actor embraces their role so well and everyone feels so real. This is probably the most grounded show this year while also being able to draw so many emotions out of you. I felt anger, fear, anxiety, endearment, and overwhelming grief and sadness in the first five episodes alone. Episode 5 in particular stands out as one of the most emotional and heartbreaking hours of TV I've ever watched. The only emotion that seemed to be missing was happiness or joy. It is really lacking in levity, but at the same I'm not sure that adding levity to a true story like this would be the right thing to do. I bet that any feelings of levity were severely absent for the real life doctors and patients of this story, and therefore the tone of this show feels like a faithful thematic adaptation. My one complaint was the juxtaposition between the first five episodes and the last three. The first five episodes in the hospital produced some of the most engaging and emotional television I have ever watched, and I just don't think the final three episodes was able to match this. The final three episodes are by no means bad, but they feel like they comprise a completely different of show and inherently the legal aftermath section of the show just isn't going to be as engaging or enthralling as the first five episodes actually in the hospital. Because of this the show dragged a good bit in these last episodes. Once we get to the final three episodes the show also narrows in on continuing Anna Pou's story, but most of the other characters get little to no screen time after being major parts of the first five epodes. I had gotten attached to those characters and there was a harsh cutoff for most of them after the fifth episode. I do, however, think that the final three episodes do a great job of adding complexity to Anna Pou's character and the entire situation at the hospital, as well as adding well-written new characters. Overall, even with the harsh transition after episode 5 I still found this show as a whole to be incredibly engaging and emotional. One of my favorite limited series.

So many great performances by the actors I can't quite pick a favorite they all deserve awards. The visuals and the setting look amazing and actors are covered in sweat and actually look like they're dying from the bad conditions. Episode 5 was the high point of the series it made me feel all sorts of emotions and not a lot of stuff can make me cry but I sure did for this. It lost some steam in the last 3 episodes and the investigation wasn't as compelling as the rest but i'm still happy with the end result. A must watch for anyone who enjoys real life disaster dramas!
people are hating it cause it's TOO GAY... I guess I'll watch it twice.
I need season 2 now! What a great show. Best show I’ve seen in years!!
Just finished watching season 1. Highly recommend really good show
Station Eleven rewards patience, but that's a big ask for the cellphone / social media generation. Story progression within an episode is sluggish and it requires an alert mind to notice the important little things you'll probably miss if you're feeling bored. Throw Lost and The Leftovers in a blender, add a very mild hallucinogen, mix well, and pour out a nice glass of Station Eleven. Enjoy, but drink slowly. The taste is subtle, but the kick will be stronger than you think.
This show gets better and better after the (not so great) pilot episode. I hope it gets picked up for a few more Seasons. I've been waiting for a show with Sarah Levy :heart: since Schitt's Creek ended.
Love this show! Some parts of this show are mind-blowing. Hence, the title of the 5th or 6th episode.
Didnt read the book, so had no expectation, its actually not bad, i like it, very different
Binged this in a day and yes it ends with a cliffhanger.
Mostly enjoyed it. Sometimes there are pacing issues and occasionally the acting was a little bit lackluster.
This is truly good TV! I've just finished the third season, and can hardly wait for the fourth. This series is based on the CARDINAL book series, by Giles Blunt, who "has received many awards from highly reputed associations for his writings. The first two novels of the John Cardinal series fetched him the British Crime Writers’ Asociation Silver Dagger and the Crime Writers of Canada’s Arthur Ellis Award respectively. He has proudly been compared with the likes of Ian Rankin and Cormac McCarthy and has been nominated for the Dublin IMPAC award two times." (https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/giles-blunt). Beyond really good writing, the series has fine performances by :flag_ca:Billy Campbell and :flag_ca:Karine Vanasse. The screenplays are evenly paced, the characters are credible law officers and solving the crimes is balanced with great character archs. This is a Bell production in partnership with :flag_ca:CTV (which will mean something to Canadians who will be able to catch it On Demand or through CTV's app) but internationally, it means you can expect beautiful :flag_ca:locations. I highly recommend this series and rate it a 9 (superb) out of 10. [Crime Drama] {Just finished the fourth and final season and found it a little slow and the soundtrack was horrid, but, Billy Campbell and Karine Vanasse fill the silence between the very limited dialogue. This season dropped to a 7 (good) for me. Everything else in my original review stands.}
I am really enjoying this crime/thriller/detective show. The cast are good and have decent chemistry. While the main plot is nothing extraordinary the subplots are what make this interesting to watch. Admittedly after the first episode I was not sure if it was worth continuing but as I have watched more and more, 5 episodes in now I am totally hooked.
Plots pile on top of one another, leaving me to work out how or if they’re linked. ... Not dark enough to be great, but highly bingeable.
Netflix is really knocking it out of the park with these true crime documentaries. This is another fantastically created series.
Loved every episode through time so my thing hope to see more too and the final was full of emotional action packed amazing acting Well Done to all the cast and crew from Years And Years.
Actually 2 episodes, 22-23 minutes each.
- 1 The Gentleman
- 2 Squirm

Can't believe people are bashing this show already. Give it a chance, it won't be the same as TWD in one episode.
