With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for anyone who likes life-or-death stakes every episode and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 7 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A nurse in the Red Crescent (the Turkish equivalent of the Red Cross) fights to save the populace during a plague.
