The second part of #stayhome motivation is here.
Series could be better than movies in showing long term effects of a disease outbreak; from patient zero to social and economical effects.
Big BUT is that there are no series devoted to a real pandemic, only few that use disease to make more drama or support main plot. As in movies, and as mentioned in TOP 5 DISEASES OUTBREAK MOVIES, we are overwhelmed with mindless horror zombie action rather than real stuff.
Perhaps, the reality is scarier and less interesting than flesh-eating zombies.
Here are 5 BEST DISEASES OUTBREAK SERIES:
Pandemic: How To Prevent An Outbreak
Netflix docuseries shows people who work on the front lines to battle influenza and stop the next global outbreak. Episodes feature people like doctors in the U.S. and Asia, health care workers in the Congo fighting outbreaks of Ebola, scientists conducting testing on animals, and more.
The series also discusses controversial topics like vaccines and anti-vaxxers, religion, prayer, faith, and viral outbreaks around the world.
The Plague (2018) / La peste (original title)

If plague and falling of the old world are not enough, there is also and the inquisition.
World Without End (2012)
This eight-episode 2012 television miniseries is based on the novel of the same name by Ken Follett. Beside Black Death, you can see chronicles of the English town of Kingsbridge during the start of the Hundred Years’ War.
Medici (2016- )
One episode of excellent TV series Medici has Plague, aka Black Death shown. The third episode of the first season called Pestilence depict the political influence of Plague on the might of Medici family.
It s not whole season devoted to disease pandemic, only this episode, but it is somethin.
Utopia (2013 -2014)
OK, it is not a historical story but it can send you shivers down the spine.
Writers took most frightening theories about diseases outbreak and connected it with modern reality. The result shows that will make you doubt all news that you hear and true intentions of people in power.
