If you liked Himesh Patel’s role as Eurylochus in the TV series The Odyssey, you might also enjoy his new show about another dangerous adventure.
With appearances by Patel and Matilda Lawler (from It: Welcome to Derry), Station Eleven tells the story of two people whose lives intersect during a terrible flu outbreak. The show is now available to stream in the UK, and here’s why it’s worth watching.
This drama, which first came out in 2021, is set in a world after a major disaster and is based on Emily St. John Mandel’s 2014 novel of the same name. It was created by Patrick Somerville, who also made the series Maniac and contributed to the writing for Predator: Badlands.
The series was previously available on HBO Max in the US and StarzPlay in the UK, but is now streaming in this region for the first time.
All ten episodes of Station Eleven are now available to stream on NOW. The series premiered on Sky Atlantic with the first two episodes on July 24th.
What to Read Next
Get ready for a moving dystopian series that highlights the importance of art and human connection during difficult times. Station Eleven tells its story across two time periods, following pandemic survivor Kirsten – portrayed by Lawler and Mackenzie Davis at different stages of her life – and features a surprising take on the president’s famous speech from Independence Day.
Himesh Patel plays Jeevan, and he encounters Kirsten when a virus begins spreading in 2020. They unexpectedly team up and rely on each other to stay alive.
So, the show really gets into the lives of these characters, and it all connects back to this famous actor, Arthur Leander, played by Gael García Bernal. It turns out his first wife, Miranda Carroll, who’s played by Danielle Deadwyler, actually wrote the graphic novel, ‘Station Eleven’ – which is a big deal in the world of the show, because it’s kind of like the key to everything that happens.
With seven Emmy nominations—including one for Dev Patel as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie—Station Eleven is critically acclaimed, earning a 98% score on review site Rotten Tomatoes based on 56 reviews.
Critics have called Station Eleven a clever and insightful show that’s definitely worth watching (according to Loud and Clear Reviews). The series features performances by Daniel Zovatto, Nabhaan Rizwan, David Wilmot, and Caitlin FitzGerald.
Station Eleven is streaming on NOW in the UK.
