Is anyone watching 'Containment'?

Just wondering if it's going to be one of those shows that I'm the only person who watches so it gets cancelled - like The Tomorrow People - or if anyone else is as enthralled by it as I am?

I am! I don't fully understand it tbh but I fancy the blatantly eye-candy policeman.

Kaz32 · 07/09/2016 23:44

I'm watching it too! I can't wait for next weeks episode. I'm hoping for another season while they leave us with a good cliff hanger. And totally agree about the eye candy police man! Smile

I'm watching it at the moment but I'm thinking about stopping. I have heard that it's been cancelled in the States after the end of series 1 so I doubt there will be any neat ending Sad

I was watching but gave up. It irritated me after a while. Was good at the start I thought.

loopylulu80 · 10/09/2016 21:08

We've finished it and i think it was only ever planned to be a mini series so I can confirm it doesn't get cancelled early.

No comments about the ending though!

CurbsideProphet · 10/09/2016 22:03

I'm watching! I read it was only due to run for 1 series, but I'm happy with that, as I wouldn't want it to drag on.

MrsJoeyMaynard · 10/09/2016 22:10

Watching here too.

I saw the Belgian TV series Cordon that this is based on, so it's been interesting to see how they compare.

gingerboy1912 · 11/09/2016 19:04

StArted watching but found it too silly and unrealistic so have up.

BreatheDeep · 12/09/2016 22:01

I'm watching but starting to get bored. Glad to hear it doesn't get dragged out to be honest!

nousernames · 13/09/2016 22:27

I looked on Wikipedia and there are spoilers for later on in the series.

nousernames · 22/09/2016 09:20

Did anyone see last nights episode? Sad

Soubriquet · 22/09/2016 09:21

Yep

I think she's going to make it tbh

BreatheDeep · 22/09/2016 09:31

Last night's was So sad. Only 2 more episodes to go. I think it's right it's only one series as they can do things more 'realistically'. I think all people in the corden might die Shock

nousernames · 22/09/2016 10:21

I thought last nights episode was really good.

It seems to be getting a lot of negative reviews thought which I cant understand.

drigon · 22/09/2016 15:43

Yes, it has dragged on, though I've stuck with it, but last night's ep.was excellent! I cried a lot at the end and thought the lad who plays Quentin was spot on. Very affecting.

Paintedhandprints · 22/09/2016 20:12

Gave up when I realised this didn't have Zombies in it. Dh still watching it. I was a bit Hmm at the shower curtain sex scene. If you can call it that...

DPotter · 22/09/2016 20:20

I'm watching but it is being dragged out a bit!

Nightfall1983 · 22/09/2016 20:33

I'm still enjoying it very much, was in tears at the end of last nights . I don't mind it only being one season, agree it's the kind of thing that is best suited to a single season in many ways BUT it is was "dropped" in the states then I bet it doesn't end properly, but rather ends as a cliffhanger/billions of loose ends which will drive me crazy...

Oh, and whoever said they think the teacher lady is going to pull through - I don't think so!

colouringinagain · 22/09/2016 20:41

I'm watching it. Haven't seen last night's but rather apprehensive now!

Fuckoffdailymailnobs · 23/09/2016 12:29

Watch the original it's much much better

BreatheDeep · 24/09/2016 18:19

Original? I didn't know it was based on something else. Where can I watch that?

MrsJoeyMaynard · 24/09/2016 19:12

It's based on a Belgian TV series called Cordon. That was shown on UK TV earlier this year or last year - I think BBC4?

BreatheDeep · 24/09/2016 21:45

Thanks! I will go and have a look

Soubriquet · 24/09/2016 22:01

Is cordon in English?

Or in a foreign language with English subtitles?

CurbsideProphet · 24/09/2016 23:38

I just caught up with the 2 most recent episodes. I actually got choked up about the teacher Sad Blush I'm a bit confused about who is actually to blame vs who everyone now thinks is to blame. However, I'm just going along with it Grin
