Containment is a show that originally aired on The CW in 2016. Set in Atlanta, Georgia, the show follows the city as it grapples with a deadly virus that has broken out and quarantined a large portion of the city. The show primarily focuses on the lives of those trapped inside the quarantine zone and how they cope with the situation.

The show stars David Gyasi as Dr. Alex Carnahan, the head of the Center for Disease Control's Epidemic Intelligence Service team. He is sent to Atlanta to help deal with the virus and works closely with the local authorities to contain the outbreak. Christina Moses plays Jana Mayfield, a police officer who gets trapped inside the quarantine zone with her boyfriend and young daughter. Chris Wood plays Jake Riley, a free-spirited journalist who becomes trapped inside the quarantine zone while investigating the outbreak.

Other notable cast members include Kristen Gutoskie as Katie Frank, a teacher who is separated from her student lover by the quarantine zone; Claudia Black as Dr. Sabine Lommers, a government official who is responsible for the containment efforts; and George Young as Victor Cannerts, the scientist who initially discovered the virus and is working tirelessly to find a cure.

The show is a tense and emotional drama that explores how individuals react when they are forced into isolation during a crisis. There are a variety of different storylines and subplots that intertwine throughout the show, including the power struggles between the various authorities, the love affairs that develop between the trapped individuals, and the difficult decisions that must be made in order to contain the virus.

One of the standout aspects of the show is the way in which it portrays the different effects that the virus has on different people. Some characters are immune to the virus and are tasked with helping those who fall ill, while others are plagued by the virus and must struggle to survive. The show also highlights the ways in which different social classes are affected by the virus, with those in wealthier areas having easier access to resources during the quarantine.

The show's production also stands out, with impressive attention to detail in creating a believable quarantine zone. The sets, lighting, and special effects come together to create a sense of claustrophobia and tension that adds to the overall feeling of the show.

Overall, Containment is a gripping drama that explores the societal and personal effects of a deadly virus outbreak. It is a thought-provoking show that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.

Containment is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (13 episodes). The series first aired on April 19, 2016.
