10 min in on the 1st episode and I’m already frustrated. Dad driving like crazy when trying to save his family, him looking back so the kid puts on seatbelt 🤡 and causes major traffic accident! + kids open the fucking door to the stranger. So annoying! Explain something to the poor kids so they don’t do something dumb like opening the door.

Should i keep watching or is it just a bunch of dumb decisions by MCs?

Been a few months since I finished the show - but this bit has been bugging me ever since. I'm not sure if it's in season 2 or 3, but when Martin kisses Simone for the first time, it's in the rain. They kinda run into the rain and dance in celebration and stuff - so can someone help me understand how and why they didn't die?

I've seen this show before but now am wondering who they are.

Sucked balls after first season tbh

By s2e4 i started to skipped through it. I skipped lea & jean diagloue. Lea death was stupid & i prefered s1 when the antagonist was the rain.

Then in s1 simmone got rain on her & it didnt affect her & i was hella confused & they didnt mention it again why the rain didnt affect maritan lea or siommne. I guess in s2 they said the virus evolved but still wouldnt the rain turn them?

Wtf was that ending lol . Fisrt season 7/10 & the rest was 4/ 10

I just finished season 1 yesterday and holy fuck I so didn't want Beatrice to die :((.

1. She was super pretty.

2. She is Slav.

3. I just didn't want her to die.

P.S can someone explain me without spoiling the other 2 episodes how she died? I'm currently digging on the web if it was the rain, the dog, OD, or Rasmus that killed her.

S3E1, "Fie and Simone are the only ones without capsules in their bodies. They're our only hope."

How does Fie not have capsules? She was in the zone in the hospital when the rain started. Everyone else from Fie's lab/bunker had them.

They were given so-called nutrition supplements that could kill them if they left, so why didn’t they die when they took off with Simone??

I just started watching and I don’t think I will continue because after 2 episodes I was actively cheering for just about everyone to die.
The kids are ridiculous, impulsive, and selfish. There is no way they would survive more than a few hours in the real world, it only took them about 20 minutes to get their mom killed off not to mention all the people on the highway that died directly to the boy not wanting to wear a seatbelt.
The premise is fairly solid but not original. Looks like a mashup of The Stand, Andromeda Strain, several Star Trek episodes, The Last Ship, etc……. It’s just the writing is terrible and they have done nothing to make anyone want to be invested in any of the characters.

Thank you to everyone who has posted here and saved me from hours invested in this hot mess…

Does anyone else really dislike Rasmus? He’s always doing selfish things and he can’t even handle a needle to save mankind. He’s a spoiled baby

Change my mind

At the Base in season 2 there is a loud noise played over the speaker activated by Patrick and later by Jean. Shows up later in season 3 when the black girl is being chased by the dad, rounds the corner and a shockwave / sound is heard. I'm almost done with season 3 and so far no explanation for it.

All I have to say is OOF. Like, the concept of a virus in the rain that instantly kills you isn’t the most unrealistic concept in the world, but as the series progressed it just kept getting way to fantasy sci-fi for its own good. I could get behind “humanity struggles to live in a world ravaged by a water born virus”, but the whole concept of the viruses mechanics eludes me. If the virus kills you on contact, then how can people other than the special cases infect others without them dying in five seconds? When the rain was first shown to no longer be infectious I was just like, ok now what? I couldn’t see there being a threat anymore so I wondered if they were gonna have to evolve a new threat. And boy did they.

In season two we now learn that the virus spreads in over the environment in a very not viral fashion. Like might have been more accepting if it was bacteria or a fungus, anything but a virus. And then someone made their first tosses of shit at the fan. Now the virus is a hive mind that allows different infected organisms to share sensations. Also, Rasmus can use his newfound virus powers to just instantly kill people. What’s worse is that he can control a ball of proteins and dna with no motor capabilities midair. And then there is the brief side moment where Sten was gonna make virus rain clouds to use as weapons? That just made no sense because from what I could see Apollon looks to be the only functioning organized group during the series. So then some yada yada, Patrick finds an EMP that’s a mcguffin for five minutes then sits in the basement for three episodes, people leave an come back several times, Apollon attacks several times, Lea dies for no good reason, effectively removing one of 3 total non disfunctional characters, also come shit about capsules that never get mentioned again after season 2.

Now for season three. One person throwing shit wasn’t enough and now we need one person for every main character that we have now in this exponentially expanding cast list. So it turns out Sarah is alive thanks to the virus and its very not virus-like behavior. Rasmus is at Apollon now and is letting the head honcho tell his sweet, beautiful lies. Now the goal is to give everyone the virus symbiotically because they gave up on stopping it. Simone isn’t too fond of that idea so she mostly offs herself by nearly drowning in a stream that was definitely to rocky for anyone to survive falling into. She gets rescued by two kids who take her to a virus free oasis that has Simone asking as to how it works. I thought Luna was gonna be an anti- Rasmus and have the ability to withdraw the virus, but then she whips out some special sauce where one drop can remove the virus from about 500 square feet of land. The special sauce comes from the nectar of a magical bullshit flower with unknown origin. Rasmus kills Sten and takes over by giving people non lethal infections. One thing leads to another and Luna gets kidnapped by a grungy orphanage because they want the special sauce. Simone makes a deal put they go takebacksies on it because the special sauce is just too good to not have all of it. They decide to go to the magical bullshit flower and take more special sauce for themselves, which results in the magical bullshit flower using its defense mechanism to make 20 children go to the foster care system in the sky. For some reason the magical bullshit flower dies this time , but before that the leader of the orphans gets one vial of special sauce (btw he had no instructions on how to get the special sauce, so how did the flower just not instantly blow up?). After some filler we see that the magical bullshit flower is alive again because the virus is its favorite snack. It regains my it’s full health just in time for Rasmus and his gang of infectes to pay a visit because Rasmus is out for blood now. Rasmus gets close to the magical bullshit flower and decides that he’s too pretty to not eat all of the virus in him, which results in it blowing up and disappearing from existence in a blue energy wave that completely removes the virus from everywhere.

Aside from the plot holes and dropped conflicts, we really need to take about the magical bullshit flower. Like, why is it there? How is it there? It cant be natural because it can blow up and vanish while making shockwaves galore, some someone had to have engineered it the only people capable of doing that is Apollon, but they didn’t, so it’s literally magic bullshit. Then we have a little version of the flower that lives in a jar. I would have thought that the virus and flower would have cancelled each other out but the flower still exists for no reason.

All in all, it was acceptable in the first season, but they really forgot where they were headed with the story so they kept adding more magic. It’s not the worst show every, but a 5/10 might be all I can give it

I am so appalled at the selfish father and his idiotic family!!! I'm still going to keep watching but just wanted to rant about how pathetic that was! This family literally caused the huge accident, especially the son and father, I know it was dramatized but come on why is it so hard to put on a seatbelt? So much fidgeting around in the back with obnoxious kids. Then they go and put thousands of people in harms way to save themselves in a special bunker. Wow. The entitlement here is amazing. Just needed to rant, I will keep watching, for now... lol, hopefully later on in the show there's guilt about this.

Edit: I have zero sympathy for these stupid kids!!! I quit, can't watch anymore. How pathetic is this!!! I can't find any good shows anymore.

Ok, the first season was good, really good premise, good character relationships. The cult thing I found a bit out of place but whatever. Then there is the second season, what the fuck, why did the show turn from an original post apocalyptic type show, to a fucking marvel movie. There was no need to give Rasmus superpowers. Then the third season. I used to like Rasmus, until he got Martin killed. Unnecessary and probably the saddest death. I also found Sarah's hatred for Simone and Fie at the start completely stupid. Why is she mad at them for leaving her dead body. How where they meant to know she wasn't dead. I also thought Rasmus was a complete idiot, why was he so determined, to the point it was killing him. I'm glad that he died. I think the whole flower defense thing was a bit pointless, only used to kill those kids.

The characters themselves were likable but at times acted like complete and utter idiots. I found Jean a bit goofy sometimes, with his facial expressions. The whole revenge for lea thing was surprising. Patrick and Martin were two of my favourite characters. Don't see why Marcin needed to die. Beatrix and Lea's deaths were necessary, Beatrix to start Rasmus' thing with appolon and Lea's death to give him a cure that didn't work. But also to start up Jeans revenge. I feel like some side plots were given too much screen time. Like the guy that had to destroy evidence for Kira. All that did was send Patrick and Martin on an adventure that didn't really amount to much except them wanting to stop Rasmus getting cured and reuniting with Simone. I feel like Beatrixes death was a bit anticlimactic and sort of random, she died to a dog. I feel like she had so much backstory and lore behind her just to be killed by a fucking dog.

Overall, the ending was nice, seeing Rasmus and Sarah die together and getting rid of the virus. I don't see why Jean tried to sacrifice himself. Seems stupid. I liked the relationship between Patrick and Fie. For my final thoughts, I think the show could have been 10x better if it stuck to the season one trope instead of going into a superpower trope. And I think Rasmus switching from being the key to stop the virus, to being the virus itself seemed a bit silly, but I guess it made sense in the finale... Overall I'd rate Season 1 7/10 Season 2 5/10 and Season 3 4/10 +2 for dead Rasmus. In conclusion... 6/10 show. Would recommend if you like superheroes and dead people. I did watch it in dub, so some lines seemed goofy, but that's a risk you take with dub.

Okay so I’m a little confused. I just started S3 and I’m about halfway through the first episode. Can someone explain how Simone got back into the quarantine zone? When her and Fie try to escape, they got separated by the lasers. Fie couldn’t continue on with Simone because of them. But a not long after Simone realizes that the virus is outside the wall, she returns to the QZ. Did I miss something? How did she return if there was lasers preventing anyone from leaving or returning?

Is the girl and the Rahsmuz insanely dumb throughout the show or just the first episode ? They seem completely brain dead so far

After 12 minutes in .. i have to say the boy is a moron .. the girl is a moron .. the mother is a moron

so much of the dialogue is the characters calling out one another’s name instead of conveying information or using their words…. Especially the sister saying “Rasmus” over and over. So Annoyong

I like the atmosphere and the plot (just watched 2 episodes) but I think I will not stand the dumb kid. When episode 2 started and I saw he grew up I was relieved, just to discover he is still just as dumb as a young adult. Does he get any good or -even better- die by fire before season 2?

They did have to kill Martin, it made no sense for him to take the virus. We watched him for three seasons and it didn’t seem like something he would have otherwise done, just because he thought she died? Wouldn’t he have just wanted to die to be with her instead of wanting to live forever with the virus!? So confused and I hate that they left her without her whole family, it was sad.

Listen, I enjoyed the show even if it didn't make total sense. But I am heated the baby goes NAMELESS???

Nah, not in my universe. So I propose the name...

I've watched the first episode today and it's literally unwatchable. The characters make asanine decisions (more than can just be written off as them being young and dumb) and the premise of the series seems really weird. There is a virus in the rain that makes you... violent? And kills you?? And its all because of some huge network that also made underground bunkers that their dad just happened to be a part of? And the boy is "the key"? I think they've ticked off about every apocalyptic/zombie trope there is. I thought the idea of the story was really interesting so I'm trying REALLY hard to like it.... I've skimmed over a few posts here and that doesn't give much hope. I guess I want to say, I'm glad that others share my opinion and its not just me.

Also: how tf are there three seasons of this?!?
