It was spooky watching this in the middle of a real pandemic. They really predicted a lot of aspects of the disaster that we've seen happening with Covid. Spread from animals to people, traveling around the world through airplane travel, person to person transmission on surfaces and through coughing, people unwilling to quarantine, clearing out the supermarkets, hoarding, frontline and healthcare workers dying, needing cold facilities to store all the bodies as morgues and funeral homes are overwhelmed, mass graves, political jousting, and even "patriots" thinking it was a deep state conspiracy. It was amazingly prescient. They showed it progressing through different parts of society, but kept enough focus on the main characters to keep viewers engaged and caring. I'm surprised it doesn't have a higher rating.
