Katy Waldman The New Yorker Dec 12, 2022
Even more than the book, the show is obsessed with how people change, remake, and imprint on the material they cherish. Go to Full Review

Serena Seghedoni Loud and Clear Reviews Jul 31, 2023
Station Eleven is a clever, insightful show that has a lot to say about the meaning of life, and it’s absolutely worth a watch if only for the haunting worldbuilding and excellent acting on display. Go to Full Review
Jennifer Bisset CNET Mar 30, 2023
Station Eleven is a uniquely optimistic end-of-the-world story that ticks every box. Mystery, full characters, danger, moral decision making and a classical music soundtrack. Give this one a crack. Go to Full Review
Sarah Ward Concrete Playground Jun 25, 2022

David G @dgannon1 Oct 18, 2026 A great story that unfolds in a chaotic fashion. See more Alpha 1 @RT24347185 Oct 12, 2026 Imagine going to a three-Michelin-star restaurant. The food brought to your table is mouthwatering, giving the whole room an amazing scent. BUT, you have to hear the owner give a speech before you can eat. Unfortunately, he’s drunk and talks for 20 minutes, leaving your dish stone cold. You still go in for a bite, just to find out the food is unbearably salty. Great drinks, though. That’s exactly what watching this show feels like. See more Jimmy C @djimmyp1 Sep 18, 2026 Personally i loved it, cannot believe i missed it when first released as have to say it is one of the most original and sincere shows i have ever watched. Its very rare that you watch a show where all the characters are able to touch you emotionally and this really does. I think its a masterpiece personally, yes possibly a slow burner but i never felt it was an effort watching it. The acting was superb and i feel its unfair to single any of them out but Matilda Lawler and Mackenzie Davis were brilliant, Himesh Patel also. See more M7AMD A @M7AMD Aug 9, 2026 The first episode was amazing and really gets you excited for the show. Then there is a time jump where a bunch of hippies is traveling around acting for other hippies. It's so fragmented and messy and confusing, at the end of the show you find yourself lost See more Matilda B @Blake609 Jul 26, 2026 I loved it. It’s one of the best pieces of media that’s come out this decade. I will say that I may be a little biased as I watched it when it came out during the pandemic and lockdowns so I related with the initial premise. See more Dylan H @ddubharris Jul 11, 2026 basically perfection, or at least as close to it as you can get. This is not your typical post apocalyptic series - no, not every episode is some white-knuckling, fast paced thriller, although don’t misunderstand, there’s still plenty of that. But it’s the intricate storylines, the characters and the way they seamlessly weave it all together, that’s what makes it so special. It’s one of those rare gems that pulls off so many different genres/concepts at once - drama, thriller, psychological, fantasy, love, family, human nature, and even humor. It’s intimate, raw, and heartfelt. Not to mention, the acting and the writing is phenomenal. They say that good taste is subjective and, normally I would agree but if you don’t like this series, you very well might just objectively have bad taste. See more Read all reviews
