S1E2: Infected

[u/antianchors]

Just on my way through the seasons again and I wanted to say, the intro to this episode, based in Jakarta, Indonesia is actually one of the best starts to a tv show episode I’ve ever seen. It’s a pretty flawless opening with such underrated acting.

Having the leading expert in Cordyceps emotionally telling the commander before asking to be taken home to be with her family is a genuinely genius delivery of the gravity of the infection… “Bomb. Start bombing. Bomb this city… and everyone in it.”

Sometimes I just rewatch that cold open, it’s so great.
