Jun 3, 2019Good cast and compelling story; certainly worth a watch That said, there was something off about this show that kept it from being great. Can't put my finger on it, but something made it come off a little cheesy, like the sameness you feel when you watch the gazillionth episode of Law and Order or NCIS.

Aug 14, 2019Felt like I was watching a daytime telemovie. Poor cgi in several scenes too.

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.

What The Hot Zone does very well is focus its story on science and procedure. It can be hard to balance drama and accuracy when one of the series’ most key lines is “the antibodies are in the plasma!” but the series makes it work.

Though flawed, “The Hot Zone” is an effective, real-life horror story whose key points are hard to brush aside.
