It''s crazy how they filmed this last year, and a few months later, a pandemic hit. It''s too bad it focused so much on the influenza virus, though. The corona snuck by right on through. And the docuseries didn''t even mention SARS or MERS. It''d be really cool if the director/s could make a special with all the main protagonists of this docuseries discussing this new virus that''s wreaking havoc right now, and how they''re working to fight it.
Well, they failed. COVID-19 is here.
A very well-written docuseries, with testimonies of those who fight pandemics firsthand and those with disruptive scientific research, not even the most specifically medical aspects, as well as the living conditions in developing countries, have not been overlooked. A very interesting series from an educational and popular point of view.
