Containment is an American miniseries, based on the Belgian TV series Cordon. The show was officially ordered as a series by The CW on May 7, 2015, and debuted on April 19, 2016. The series follows an epidemic that breaks out in Atlanta, leaving the large city quarantined and those stuck on the inside fighting for their lives.

Missed the pilot episode and still curious? Watch it here: http://www.cwtv.com/shows/containment/pilot/?play=9b5bfa64-43e9-4126-bc48-4c847832369e

My opinion after watching it: meh. I like that it's not another zombie flick and there's some realism to a deadly virus outbreak. There are many protagonists who are pretty much there to take you to the different aspects of the city-wide quarantine, but by the end of the episode I didn't really care much for them, at least not yet. Perhaps if there were less I would think it was better. There are already two who are showing a romantic interest, but I think I wanted to get to know them a little bit more than what was squeezed into the pilot episode. The effects that the virus does to people is done pretty well.

All in all I think I'll keep watching it and see where this goes

this show isn't going to build a fan base like iZombie, that's for sure.

I think there's been more misses than hits when it comes to American remakes of foreign TV shows, so I'm watching this with lowered expectations.

it isn't a great impressive show but I'm digging it for what it is, regardless of its flaws

I'm getting some entertainment value out of it and that's what matters to me in the long run
