let's start by saying that this is no "perfect show"

it has its flaws, some are annoying (like some characters decision making) and some are boring (i found some scenes just...kind of hard to watch. mainly because they were not that interesting)

so yeah, if you are going to watch this show it's not like you will finish it and say damn that is now my favorite show of all time or I mean you can but that means that it's probably your first tv series or something lol

what I do have to say is this: the show does a really good job of making you feel the "weight" of certain events. You always assume important characters would have plot armor because, well, they are the most important and they get characterized the most...you can't really characterize a dead body anymore, except for a couple flashback maybe.

What I'm trying to say is that usually important characters in dangerous situations don't feel interesting because you know they are going to make it, but here...they die. Like, you think they are gonna be fine but then they die. And everybody feels it. The weight of someone's death is really really felt in this show, even more in the end.

a lot of important characters die in this show, some have very meaningfull deaths, other have deaths that feel much less "orchestrated" but that's great because you don't always go out in crazy ways. sometimes you just die and that's it.

and since the show wasn't afraid of just killing off anybody really, they were able to really surprise me. they really caught me off guard quite a bunch of time.

if you love the concept of a virus in the rain killing people, give this show a watch. it shifts more on the virus itself later but it's still a cool concept and even thought the story isn't perfect it can be enjoyed and it's not even that long, like season 3 is 6 episodes, A LOT of stuff happens in those 6 episodes but it's really not that long of a series.
