Season 1 Review:
While none of these actors are household names, all are convincing, believable and engaging. ... This is one of those series that will make you ask yourself what you would do in a similar situation. It might lead to some uncomfortable moments, but Containment sure does make for entertaining television.

Season 1 Review:
What happens to people when [insert fear here] strikes is the plot for every disaster movie ever. Containment, serviceably if not excitingly adapted by Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries) from Cordon, a Belgian series, isn't out to reinvent the genre, even as it extends it to 13 episodes.

Season 1 Review:
Undemanding viewers (not a judgment) may find Containment diverting nonetheless. If nothing here seems the least real, the series' flaws, from its underpowered budget to its overripe dialogue, are those of innumerable, sometimes beloved B-, C- and D-grade pictures before it — not excluding the high-toned epigrams, from Socrates and Matthew and such that introduce each episode with a sheen of classy meaning.

Season 1 Review:
Plagued by mediocre writing and stubbornly dull acting, this unpleasant misfire feels like slow death as it spins out subplots from Disaster Movie 101. [18 Apr-1 May 2016, p.19]
