Trailer · ManiacStation Eleven streams on HBO Max in the United States but remains unavailable in France. Adapted from the eponymous novel by Emily St. John Mandel (2014), the American miniseries was created by Patrick Somerville, also behind Maniac on Netflix. It consists of ten episodes, with a total runtime of about eight hours, and no second season is planned. The story begins in Chicago, where actor Arthur Leander (Gael García Bernal) collapses during a performance of King Lear; Jeevan (Himesh Patel) tries to rescue him before taking the young actress Kirsten (Matilda Lawler) under his wing. A deadly flu triggers the collapse of civilization, and twenty years later, Kirsten, played by Mackenzie Davis, roams the Great Lakes with a traveling troupe that performs Shakespeare for the survivors. The series emphasizes memory, grief and the role of art rather than violence. According to AlloCiné, it holds a press rating of 4.2/5.
