Watchseries; Not what I thought it was going to be. It's obviously more of a lifetime/made-for-TV cast. I opted to watch it all at once and thought it would be better that way but I might have enjoyed it more if I paced myself. Would have given me a chance to forget how terrible the acting was in each episode.

Five Days at Memorial watchseries. I'm wondering how many critics / viewers have rated this highly out of respect for the story. After watching first episode I'm not sure if I'll continue. As someone else mentioned, this does have a vibe of a Hallmark tv movie and even Vera Farmiga doesn't seem to have much to work with (although I'm sure many will watch it just for her, who doesn't love Vera). Hospital staff appears over the top gentle and empathic taking away from realism and acting is rather poor overall.
Real life events that took place deserve better than this.
Feels as if i am present there in hurricane scenes. Really scary and the story is awesome. Well directed and powerful script. Eagerly waiting for more episodes to come in coming weeks.
Chronicling the impact of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath on a hospital and it's city. When the floodwaters rise, power fails and heat soars, exhausted caregivers at a New Orleans hospital are forced to make decisions that will follow them for years to come.
The cast was exceptional as was the cinematography and story line. In some of the scenes I felt like I was in the hospital feeling the stress and pain of the both the patients,caregivers and the medical staff.
Based only on the first ep. Started slow but picked up halfway. Good actors with the always reliable Vera headlining. Her Godly narrations are ludicrous though. Why ask God for help when proof of his existence would have been no storm . It's just stupid logic. But I digress. Shows off to a good start and should become dynamic as the proceedings go on.
I'm only one episode in and I'm hooked. But it's overwhelming for me right now. It's pretty intense, I can't believe that it actually happened. I got anxiety from just watching a retelling of the events there, I can't begin to imagine being there firsthand.
