Station Eleven (2021)

An end-of-the-world story for people who hate end-of-the-world stories. Based on Emily St. John Mandel's novel, with Mandel co-creating it, the ten episodes follow a traveling troupe that performs Shakespeare to scattered settlements two decades after a pandemic. The show cares about art, memory and found family far more than survival gear, and long stretches of Hamlet are part of the plot. It moves between the first days of the outbreak and the years after, which can feel loose in the middle. If the novel moved you, the finale is worth the trip.
