To The Lake - 2019 - 6/10
AKA - Epidemiya // Эпидемия

Apocalypse fans!
A lethal virus blazes through Moscow. Fleeing citizens spread the plague across Russia.
Where’d this come from? Is the spread planetwide?
The opening episodes are furious, and a template on how to render chaos and violence.
Deadlier than the virus are military and paramilitary suppressor units.
Only then the story settles into following two families as they drive into rural oblivion for lake property.
Along the way, this becomes an adventure each week. Threats, obstacles, enduring each other.
Personality clashes border on melodrama.
In later episodes pace is definitely steadier and the conclusion is somewhat hazy.
Second season is out there, of which I am indifferent. If the story concludes, then maybe.
