Questo è il link futuro del post che vi sto invitando a leggere nei prossimi giorni su www.serialfiller.org e che qui è in anteprima
Come di consueto oggi vi porto dentro una nuova Anteprima di un articolo che fra qualche giorno o settimana vedrete Nella Mente di un SerialFiller, il mio blog interamente incentrato sul mondo delle serie tv e di cui, da qualche mese, ho deciso di regalarvi costantemente, in anticipo su quello che pubblicherò, gran parte dei post che vedrete su www.serialfiller.org.
La risposta è si ma è un si abbastanza sub judice.
Station Eleven è una serie che sono sicuro al 100% non potrà piacere a tutti.
Il motivo è semplice.
Guarderete il primo episodio e sarete subito tentati da guardare il secondo, con il secondo avrete la stessa voglia di passare al successivo, e cosi via, ma alla fine di ogni episodio sentirete una certa ed esponenziale urgenza di capire dove essa stia andando a parare.
Terminata la stagione potreste scoprire che, in fondo, lo show non è andato a parare da nessuna parte, almeno non nel senso più classico del termine.
Non vi verrà spiegato quale fosse il virus che ha contagiato la stragrande maggioranza della popolazione, uccidendola.
Nessuno vi dirà come quel virus abbia corso cosi velocemente e cosa lo rendeva cosi efficace. Non ci sarà un vero "prima" della pandemia, scorgerete un fumosissimo dopo, grazie ai costanti flash-forward di circa 20 anni dallo scoppio dell'evento apocalittico che tutto cambiò.
Non avrete, insomma, delle vere risposte.
Questo è il punto di forza ed il punto debole della serie, a seconda della prospettiva con cui la guarderete.
Non avrete a che fare con The Walking Dead (per fortuna) o con Resident Evil (che Dio ce ne scampi) ma stringerete la mano a qualcosa di più simile a Tales From The Loop o alla nostrana Anna .
Station Eleven, come ogni sci-fi degno di questo nome, tende a parlare di noi esseri umani, di come reagiamo di fronte all'inatteso e all'ignoto, di come ricostruiamo la nostra umanità in situazioni fuori dall'ordinario e spaventosamente inaffrontabili come potrebbe essere una pandemia devastante come quella raccontata nel libro prima, e nella serie poi.
E' la storia di un uomo (Jeevan) che, nonostante il panico avvolto sopra ogni cellula del suo corpo, decide di dare rifugio ad una bambina (Kirsten) incontrata pochi minuti prima e di offrirle un tetto sulla testa in un momento dove tutto è sospeso e tutto sta andando a rotoli. Sotto quel tetto egli si prenderà cura di lei, coadiuvato dal di lui fratello (Frank), uomo malaticcio e claudicante che accoglierà 2 nuove persone nel suo appartamento instaurando, ben presto, un rapporto speciale con quella che, nella serie, diverrà una ragazza speciale nel mondo che verrà.
Sarà un mondo poetico e distrutto, un mondo che farà di tutto per non dimenticarsi della bellezza, per non lasciare indietro l'arte, poggiandosi su fondamenta soffici come quelle che la parte più pura e soave del nostro animo potrebbe costruire.

This is the future link to the post that I am inviting you to read in the coming days at www.serialfiller.org and which is previewed here
As usual, today I am bringing you inside a new Preview of an article that in a few days or weeks you will see In the Mind of a SerialFiller, my blog entirely focused on the world of TV series and of which, for the past few months, I have decided to constantly give you, in advance of what I will publish, most of the posts you will see at www.serialfiller.org.
Bored with overly action-packed post-apocalyptic series and movies?
Are you more passionate about more intimate science fiction?
Do you remember Halt And Catch Fire?
Queued for 2021, a sci-fi TV series starring MacKenzie Davis (Halt And Catch Fire) and Himesh Patel (Yesterday) has arrived on HBOMax.
Based on the 2014 novel of the same name, Station Eleven catapults us into a post-apocalyptic world where humankind has been (almost) wiped out by a pandemic (remind you of something contemporary and recent and moooolly scary?).
The main protagonists are a man named Jeevan and a little girl named Kirsten but above all a book that will end up accompanying us throughout all 10 episodes and whose title, as it happens, is the same as the series and the book from which it is based.
In Station Eleven, the action scenes are literally nil, there is no frenzy in the storytelling, no room for horror, no monsters or zombies around Via Roma, and everything is confined to the tale of a handful of ordinary people intent on looking around, and over their shoulders, in a whole new world completely emptied of the presence of human beings.
The title with which I wanted to inaugurate this post makes you part of my enthusiastic discouragement, my embarrassment in talking about a series that is so strange, unformed and nebulous as to make any kind of categorization, explanation and commentary difficult.
This, in the parts of In the Mind of a SerialFiller, is, usually, a gigantic merit.
Will the same principle apply this time around?
The answer is yes but it is a fairly sub judice yes.
Station Eleven is a series that I am 100% sure will not appeal to everyone.
The reason is simple.
You will watch the first episode and be immediately tempted to watch the second, with the second you will have the same urge to move on to the next, and so on, but at the end of each episode you will feel a certain and exponential urge to understand where it is going.
By the end of the season you may find that, after all, the show has gone nowhere, at least not in the most classic sense of the word.
You will not be told what the virus was that infected the vast majority of the population and killed them.
No one will tell you how that virus ran so fast and what made it so effective. There will be no real "before" of the pandemic; you will glimpse a smoky after, thanks to constant flash-forwards of some 20 years from the outbreak of the apocalyptic event that changed everything.
You will not, in short, have real answers.
This is the strength and weakness of the series, depending on the perspective with which you look at it.
You will not be dealing with The Walking Dead (thankfully) or Resident Evil (God forbid) but you will be shaking hands with something more like Tales From The Loop or our own Anna .
Looking for something like that? Then Station Eleven will be for you.
Looking for a post-apocalyptic thriller all about blood, escapes, and strange creatures? Look away; you won't be welcome here.
Station Eleven, like any sci-fi worthy of the name, tends to be about us human beings, how we react in the face of the unexpected and the unknown, how we rebuild our humanity in situations as out of the ordinary and as frighteningly undefeatable as a devastating pandemic like the one recounted in the book first, and in the series later, might be.
It is the story of a man (Jeevan) who, despite the panic wrapped over every cell in his body, decides to shelter a little girl (Kirsten) he met minutes earlier and offer her a roof over her head at a time when everything is hanging in the balance and everything is falling apart. Under that roof he will take care of her, assisted by his brother (Frank), a sickly, limping man who will welcome 2 new people into his apartment, soon establishing a special relationship with the one who, in the series, will become a special girl in the world to come.
It will be a poetic and broken world, a world that will do everything in its power not to forget beauty, not to leave behind art, resting on foundations as soft as those that the purest and most suave part of our soul could build.
We will need to survive, to feed ourselves, to watch our backs against our neighbors, to hope that that will be the last time such a cruel event can befall us, yet we must never forget to live, to act, to learn, to dance, to sing, to paint a world in which Man is still central, for better or worse.
This is, perhaps, the most powerful message Station Eleven delivers.
It does so quietly, almost surreptitiously, letting us participate in a slow, participatory but never over-the-top reconstruction.
And that is perhaps what scares us the most, knowing that, even under impossible conditions, we will be the architects of our own destiny.
