Station Eleven - HBO Max

[Anonymous]

I ended up really enjoying this series. It was well done and I truly appreciate how it had a beginning, middle, and end. The end was highly satisfying and that's often something I say anymore about endings.

I though Miranda said she only made one copy of the comic, how does Kristen and Tyler have a copy of it? Is this explained later or did I miss something?

I am pretty sure she said she made FIVE copies

Another household that loved the show! I’m curious, for others who loved it, what shows would you consider to be similar? Hoping to find something to check out next.

My husband thought it reminded him of The OA. I can see it, for the similar vibe of “I don’t necessarily understand what’s happening, but I’m enjoying watching it happen.” I also thought of Giri/Haji, in the sense that the plot was almost secondary to watching well-crafted characters interact. So, guess I’m looking for “watching people’s journeys and connection” shows, more than any specific type of plot line?

Have you watched The Leftovers? Very similar vibe; in fact, I think the writer for Station Eleven also wrote on the The Leftovers.

+1 on The Leftovers.

I will recommend Travelers, which is available on Netflix (I think). And Foundation on Apple TV.

The same show-runner. He adapted the book. Patrick Sommerville.

She seems asexual to me. There is not a lot of sexuality in this show. It's about survival.

Didn't they show a scene of her sleeping with the Indian guy in the traveling symphony?

The Leftovers - this show feels like it belongs in the same TV universe. The Leftovers was weirder - and sadder - but SO good, and also had that funny streak, like this show. (Which I loved.)

We watched Yellowjackets around the same time as we were finishing this show, and that felt like it sort of belonged in the same world, too. Very different in many ways, but a nice - more bitter and mean - companion show. Funny, weird, mysterious, people connecting (and not) in a world where something terrible has happened.

^ I see I am like the 30th person to say Leftovers - so yeah!

My husband says Lost belongs in this TV universe, too. I never watched it so I can't say for sure.

Yup. And in the book she has boyfriends. She’s not asexual.

Finally saw all ten episodes. Should have combined Miranda in Malaysia and Clark at the airport int one episode. Have another episode showing how Kirsten survived until she met up with the conductor.

A few too many time warps to keep track of some things.

I disagree. I think they kept it very clear. Year zero and Year 20 being the main focus between episodes, with some 2 yr and 4 year thrown in mid-late series.
