That's disappointing. We'll probably watch it whenever Picard comes back around for season 2. I loved the book and the original miniseries but didn't really think it was time for another. It's probably going to look even worse now when you compare the "realism" of what a real pandemic looks like compared to a fictional one (albeit with different conditions).

Also, if they try to over-dramatize anything but the finale, it's going to feel weird as the original felt like it wasn't sensationalized. That was one of the big draws is that the events were sensational so they didn't need added flourish. And we don't have a lot of that type of storytelling now.
