Season 1 Review:
I do not recommend binging it for anyone’s emotional stability—even those first three could be rough in one sitting—but this is rewarding dramatic television, the kind of show that takes history from the page and brings it to life, honoring both the dead and the people traumatized by Mother Nature and bureaucratic incompetence.

Season 1 Review:
The show leaves it up to the viewer to decide. Who’s guilty and of what — murder? being human? — isn’t so much left ambiguous as attributed to the mystery of how our different minds work. That’s not conventionally satisfying when widespread government, corporate and individual mishandling led to so much death and destruction. But it may be the most honest answer to why people do what they do when the levee breaks.

Season 1 Review:
There’s a way that highlighting valor can often be used to paper over severe shortcomings in a time of crisis. This series, though inelegant at times, avoids that trap by embracing the messiness required to put those choices and mistakes into perspective. Though “Five Days at Memorial” certainly doesn’t shy away from the grimness of a hospital slowly losing its resources and being effectively cut off from the outside world, its strongest insights are into the idea of institutional collapse.

Season 1 Review:
The series is well-made and often hard to watch.. ... Spread out over a longer time, the final three episodes, in which investigators Arthur “Butch” Schafer (Michael Gaston) and Virginia Rider (Molly Hager) build a case against Pou and two nurses, are less compelling.

Too slow. There is little action, many scenes in which show the emotional experiences of characters who cannot be sympathized with.
