I came across a BBC TV show on Netflix called “Survivors” Not to be confused the reality show “Survivor”. This is actually a very good show. It’s about a flu pandemic that kills over 90% of the population and their journey to survive. The show does have a few flaws, but nothing that does not keep your interest and want to see the next show right after. I started watching it yesterday and have now completed the two first seasons. Now if you go looking for it on Netflix: the BBC calls the seasons “Series” instead. So it will be series one and series two both from 2010. . That seems to be the only two series right now. I did see the original series available on Netflix so I guess this is a remake. The original series ran from 1975-1977. This is definitely worth seeing. I hope it’s not all over after the second season. I’m not sure I like how it ended unless it’s going to come back for a third installment. Actor Max Beesley plays Tom who was in a high security prison before the virus killed everyone at the prison except him and one other. Tom and the others in the cast are immune to the virus. You’ll find that Max Beesley looks really familiar and a good actor, but after looking up the films and TV shows he’s been in: which are mostly in Britten. He did do one film that I recognized which was the flop “Glitter” with Mariah Carrey. Another character “Abby Grant” is played by Julie Graham. She’s another good British actress. In the series Abby is part of the survivors and is not only immune, but actually caught the virus and her body killed the virus. She is wanted by a lot of not so nice people to produce an antivirus. All Abby wants to find her 12 year old son Peter.
Zoe Tapper plays Dr. Anya Raczynski. Another who is immune like the others: Zoe is a beautiful British actress that has done mostly stage and some television and film. Other main characters include Patterson Joseph as “Greg Preston”, Phillip Rhys as “Al Sadiq who has had roles in 24 and Nip/Tuck, Chahak Patel as “Najid Hanif” and Robyn Addison playing “Sarah Bowyer”. They become a family even though they don’t always get along and even some hatred within the family.
This is a must see on Netflix so go ahead kick back and enjoy.
I give this one 7 stars out of 10. ;D
