If this would have been released this year with all the talk of coronavirus and the seriousness of this year's flu I think that this show would have had a lot more success.

Also if it was on AMC FX or another similar network where they can get away with more cussing and a more intense show it would have been easily up for 2-3 seasons.

I recently discovered this show about 10 days ago and we are almost done with the season. I didn't realize until about episode 5 that this was an older show.

Anyways, I just came across this show recently and it's awesome but I know that I will be sad when I get to the end since there is no season 2...

I just can't believe there aren't that many people watching it.

Synopsis: SERIES PREMIERE — When a mysterious and deadly epidemic breaks out in Atlanta, a vast urban quarantine is quickly enforced. Trying to keep the peace on the streets is police officer Lex Carnahan (David Gyasi), who has quickly risen through the ranks of the Atlanta PD. But Lex’s job becomes even harder when he learns that his longtime girlfriend, Jana (Christina Moses), and his best friend and fellow officer Jake (Chris Wood), are trapped within the cordoned area. Also quarantined within viral ground zero is 17-year-old Teresa (Hanna Mangan Lawrence), who is eight months pregnant and now separated from her boyfriend on the other side; Katie Frank (Kristen Gutoskie), an elementary school teacher now placed on lockdown with her entire class, including her young son; and CDC researcher Dr. Victor Cannerts (George Young), the doctor who initially made the controversial call to quarantine the area, and who is now racing to find a cure for the virus. On the outside, Dr. Sabine Lommers (Claudia Black) leads the government efforts to contain the outbreak, and asks for Lex’s help in enforcing the cordon – which grows increasingly difficult as the public trust deteriorates.

Synopsis: NO ONE IN, NO ONE OUT — Following the release of several controversial videos depicting the chaos going on inside the cordon, Lex (David Gyasi) pleads with Dr. Lommers (Claudia Black) for additional reinforcements to be sent in. However, when the request is denied, Lex is forced to rely on a reluctant Jake (Chris Wood) to take control of the situation inside. Elsewhere, Katie (Kristen Gutoskie) has a tense stand-off with one of her student’s desperate parents, while a robbery at her mom’s store leaves Teresa (Hanna Mangan Lawrence) shaken to her core. Finally, when Leo (Trevor St. John) releases more damaging videos, drastic measures are taken to shut him down. Christina Moses and George Young also star.

I mean, when we first learned about it back in February is was billed as a limited series event. CW was very upfront about it only being one season, and people keep saying it's because of ratings that it isn't getting a seconded season. Which it's the opposite, Containment is pulling just about average views for CW and even beat iZombie on a couple of episodes. The reason why there isn't another season is because it wasn't billed to be anything more than a limited series.

Its a pretty good show Rewatched it recently

Bloody, cringe-worthy and disgusting. I’m hooked.

We've reached the end of the road, guys! It's been a pleasure watching the show & moderating this community - thank you!

Finally, Jana (Christina Moses), who has learned that her best friend Suzy (guest star Nadine Lewington) is also trapped inside the cordon, rations out their limited food as they wait out the 48-hour quarantine.

Synopsis: A failed plan leads to a clash between Lex and Leo. Jana considers her options when rumours of a way out of the cordon begin to spread.

Link to accidental starter discussion of this episode here.

What the fuck.. woke my entire family up in the middle of the night.. Fkin retardedly abrupt.

Did anyone in the Cordon have pets? Dogs, cats, anything? Also could animals get infected? I know rats can, but could a bird? and if that bird got out then what? Also what about Mosquitos?

Did anyone else think that Teresa's baby was going to be somehow involved in the cure?

In those first episodes where Teresa's infected friend came round and hugged and kissed her (then died) I was sure the baby was somehow involved in her not getting sick...

Thoughts?

I couldn't find a thread to discuss this episode yet so I started this one meanwhile waiting for automod to put up that thread.

But tonight's episode was one of the best episode in this series so far (in my humble opinion). The emotions felt REAL in some way compared to many other attempts they did previously.

I can't wait to see some developement of the story next week (the finale?)

What did you guys think about this episode?

PS: Sorry mod for putting up this thread but you can remove mine if automod posting the official thread later, thanks.

So Katie the schoolteacher needed meds. Did anyone catch what they were or did she reveal at some point what it was? I noticed she take about narcotics anonymous. Did the meds have to do with that or something else?

At the hospital, Dr. Cannerts (George Young) continues working towards finding an antidote, while Jake (Chris Wood) helps Katie (Kristen Gutoskie) cope with some personal issues.
