Nothing wrong with the film , good insight into how things work

Did anyone watch it? Maybe we could get some pointers.

They should air No Blade of Grass from 1970. England in the apocalypse, now that will really scare them. 🙀

Viewers complain about being confronted with the reality they have been trying to ignore.

Eh? It was in perfect taste. If it makes people stay indoors and obey the restrictions.

Those 160 people didn't need to watch it - perhaps social distancing means they have lots of time on their hands to send complaints.

Just watched this.... it is real life.. wow

There are other channels?

Oh please. More annoyed that I paid 4 quid to watch it on Amazon when I could have got it for free!

We should all be made to watch that movie. We should have been made to watch it a month ago. To hell with “poor taste.” We are living this fucking movie and shit is still not being taken seriously enough.

The Tories put brexit ahead of lives throughout all of February. And they're still doing so. Unlikely to be forgiven!

I thought it was a brilliant film and a great reminder about how a virus will spread if we do not take the advice seriously. If only BoJo had listened, and stopped shaking all those hands...

No doubt the same people wishing the Tory PM well 🙄

It’s a good film! But then I love public health! It’s generally scientifically accurate and the impacts are correct.

In the present circumstances I thought it was something I really didn't want to watch, so I didn't. No problem.

If that's where it is....

How many channels on tv are there 😂 just watch a different one 🙄

It was a very bad choice can’t imagine the logic but I chose not to watch it

Oh grow a pair, read the synopsis and rather A)watch B)don't watch. Simple

It's called reality and Contagion is a fantastic film.

Reality is even worse.
