The Review at the End of the Universe
“Path to Paradise” THE LAST EPISODE WE made it. We finally made it! There was a time I wasn’t sure there would ever be an end, with it seemingly dragging on for a bit, despite it’s relatively short 13 episode span, but here we are. Journeys, relationships; we’ve all had them. But none more than…
“Inferno” In its 7th episode, Containment focuses primarily on Jana, her stronghold, and the increasing threat from a group of tweakers who have been living in the building’s car park. With the hooligans down stairs terrorizing the folk upstairs, Jana needs to fortify the area they’ve been calling home. First of all, they need to stop…
“He Stilled the Rising Tumult” What happens this week that we’ve not seen before? Well, this week I decided to have some fun and made a special Containment bingo card and it did not let me down!

“Be Angry At The Sun” Another episode, another quote.

Reporter Leo Green, introduced last episode, getting more screen time with his fear mongering ‘exposure’ videos makes for an interesting new…
“I to Die, You to Live” Night One. “The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our separate ways, I to die, and You to live. Which of these two is better only God knows.” Socrates It’s probably not good to watch this when you think you’re coming down with something. We are thrown…
“Pilot” If you’ve ever played Pandemic, you’ll probably want to watch this as Containment is like a real life version of that. The scene opens with the National Guard in darkness. Contained. Once released we are thrust into the zombie apocalypse made from our worst nightmares; not the gory kind, but the kind that means…
