About
"A crisis drama that refuses easy villains"
Based on Sheri Fink's nonfiction book, this limited series reconstructs what happened inside a New Orleans hospital during and after Hurricane Katrina, when floodwaters knocked out power, supplies dwindled, and staff faced impossible choices about who could be saved. It unfolds in two halves: a harrowing, claustrophobic disaster thriller as the storm hits, then a slower, more procedural investigation into the aftermath and its moral fallout. Strong ensemble performances anchor it, and it doesn't offer easy answers. It's heavy, deliberate television that trusts you to sit with discomfort rather than resolve it neatly.
the unflinching, morally complex portrayal of impossible decisions made under catastrophic pressure.
you find sustained bleakness or slow-burn procedural investigation hard to sit through.
