I want to see Havana Rose Liu in more! I watched her in a drama last week, now a thriller, I'll watch her in any genre!

Station Eleven 2021
"I stood looking over the damage, trying to remember the sweetness of life on Earth."
Every episode was stronger than the last. A poignant and passionate plea to keep living and keep being light in the face of the end.
Quietly thrilling, and backed by a strong, succinct script and worldbuilding. Everyone has a story, they are all surviving and trying to live the best way they can despite the circumstances. Station Eleven let's you meet every character with honesty…
