It is like watching an artist paint a landscape, moving from spot to spot all over the canvas, slowly and deliberately revealing the masterwork from behind the fog. Different times start blending into the other, even before the show begins questioning what a dream is and real life, adding a whole new layer to the narrative framework. The show will suddenly jump back in time and explore a character’s life, wondering why they are doing this, only for it all to make sense by the end. This deception could be frustrating if it were not handled as well. The show will show you a scene, giving you some context, before three episodes later revealing that you had the completely wrong context. Well, with Station 11, the different timelines are woven throughout every episode. Most shows would have been happy just cutting back to Day One while still focusing the main story on 20-years-later. But this is just the start of the multifaceted approach to timeframes. This not only reinforces the terror in those first few hours as people struggle to find shelter, but it prepares you for the fact that it will not be static in time which the show nails down with three different time jumps in the closing moments of the show. The first episode, Wheel of Fire, will cut to the future when vegetation has retaken over that location we see in the present. Here this is not the case as the different timelines are written into the very DNA of the show, and you feel it at all times. However, it can often come off as feeling forced, as the fractured story lessons the whole. Jumping between points in time is an increasingly common narrative technique, and you can see it in The Witcher, The Last of Us Part 2, Westworld, and The Book of Boba Fett. But if I were to pick one thing that this show does better than almost anyone else in the business, it would be how they deal with multiple timelines.
STATION 11 RATING SERIES
It is almost hard to find a place to start with a series as good as this because so much is competing for attention. Watching the world collapse is hard to watch today, where every cough feels like it could take it all. Just one problem, what does he do with Kirsten? Now from here, we will be looking at the season as a whole, so there will be ahead. Jeevan has to get supplies and head to his brother Fred’s (Nabhaan Rizwan) apartment, don’t talk to anyone because society is about to collapse. The flu is here, and it will rip through the population in 24 hours.
The death rate was 999 in 1000, and a kid had arrived in Chicago from Moscow that day. The flu spreading across Europe is not usual. But after finding no one home at Kirsten’s house, Jeevan got a call from his sister (Tiya Sircar), that works at the hospital. As chaos erupts around him, Jeevan finds one of the child actors, Kirsten (Matilda Lawler), has been forgotten, so he offers to walk her home. Jeevan rushes to help, but Arthur dies of a heart attack. However, halfway through, something odd happens on stage and star Arthur Leander (Gael García Bernal) collapses on stage. So to set the scene, one night in Chicago, Jeevan Chaudhary (Himesh Patel) is seeing to opening night of the play King Lear. It has been a long while since a show has affected me like this, and goodness, what a ride it was. So I was completely unaware that I would inhale this show in the space of a week and everything about it. I had heard vague mentions that it was pretty good, and I knew it was post-apocalyptic, but not much more than that. I came into Station Eleven not knowing anything really about what I was getting myself into.
