Played Marco Polo in a septic tank?

Allowed animated woodland creatures to dress you for a ball?

Well, perhaps stop doing these things!

As it turns out, they are all great ways to catch a disease.

Its these kinds of extremely unsoothing germs that are the stars and subject of the new CW seriesContainment.

UnfortunatelyContainments grossest infection are the virulent soap opera tropes that invade the screen every few minutes.

Somebody like take a flame thrower tothose.

Tell me more j/k!

DO NOT CARE, show.

There are bleeding orifices to worry about!

Even shows about disintegrating immune systems deserve to be populated with hunks and babes, I guess.

All that being said, the first installment ofContainmentvery much succeeded in grabbing my interest.

You have to love a show where the best jump-scares are sneezes.

Credit where credits due!

Lets get into it.

Guys, weve all seen outbreak movies or readThe Stand, so theres very little surprise about howContainmentunfolds.

NOW weve got a show.

We KNOW things wont go well.

One of the secret central pleasures ofThe Walking Deadis not the zombies, but the world itself.

That ever-present dread mixed with post-society freedom.

But it also promises to be good, clean fun.

Well,uncleanfun at least.

As I like to say whenever I go home for Christmas: Lets get disgusting.
