Season 1 Review:
Having established that Margulies does a fine job leading “The Hot Zone,” neither she nor her impressive list of co-stars, including Liam Cunningham, Noah Emmerich and James D’Arcy, are given many opportunities to chew scenery. They don’t need to, because showrunners and executive producers Kelly Sounders and Brian Peterson built the script to make fear of infection the centerpiece.

Season 1 Review:
Death is nothing new on television. But the grotesque hemorrhaging Ebola induces in its unlucky sufferers brings home the gravity of the story, and the courage of its players. ... “The Hot Zone” works best as an examination of process in precisely this way — showing what it takes to defeat an outbreak, both in Jaax’s storyline and in one told in flashback, as her mentor (“Game of Thrones’s” Liam Cunningham) attempts to find an Ebola survivor and thus to use his or her antibodies for a cure.

Season 1 Review:
With apologies to King Kong, monkey business has never been scarier than in this tense if preachy six-part docudrama. [27 May - 9 Jun 2019, p.13]

While not as phenomenal as Chernobyl, The Hot Zone is a good and compelling show to watch with solid acting.

If you want to see a great movie about infectious virus watch Outbreak, not this maudlin jump scare cgi garbage waste of 6 overlong episodes in a nothingburger television series. This was bad, no payoff, tons of filler, ridiculous waste of time. Miss it.
