Contagion

[searchanddestroy-1 · 12 February 2016]

I found here a scheme usually brought in most series, at least one time, the contagious disease topic, in the line of Elia Kazan's PANIC IN THE STREET. In each TV show I have already seen, and believe me I have seen plenty of them, I have watched one episode where a sick man or woman is somewhere in the city, most of time unaware of what he is affected - or may I say infected - of. So the authorities are on the spot to hunt the sick person on rampage, and put it on quarantine before it is too late for he rest of the population. In a crime series, you can have a criminal element above this, to please the noir genre buffs, but the main lead line of the story remains the suspense in relation with the disease... So, don't expect something exceptional here, but on the contrary a foreseeable scheme. But it remains a correct time waster.
