StoryLine:

Ryan Murphy tried for years to make a series of his American Crime Story anthology series out of Sheri Fink’s bestselling and meticulous book, Five Days at Memorial, about how the terrible aftermath of Hurricane Katrina played out in one New Orleans medical centre. You can see why it defeated him. The story of how a manmade disaster overlaid the natural one, compounding the suffering of innumerable people – and almost certainly leading to the deaths of at least 45 of them – is simply too bleak for his sensibility.Five Days at Memorial Season 1 Download.

John Ridley (the writer of 12 Years a Slave) and Lost showrunner Carlton Cuse took it on instead, for Apple TV+, and have ended up creating something extraordinary. Set almost wholly within the increasingly fetid and hopeless confines of Memorial hospital – with each of the first five episodes devoted to a single one of the five fateful days in 2005 that unfolded after Hurricane Katrina made landfall – it is utterly brutal and utterly compelling. This is at a slight cost to character delineation and development. Every performance (especially Vera Farmiga as Dr Anna Pou, Julie Ann Emery as nurse Diane Robichaux and Raven Dauda as the daughter eventually forced to abandon her dying mother) is quietly brilliant, but their situations are so unrelentingly terrible that they inevitably become slightly emblematic rather than individualised figures.

In episode one, we watch local residents join patients and staff in the hospital to shelter there as they have always done. It is the natural, sensible and traditional place to go. Katrina blows out windows and puts the fear of God in everyone, but passes with the people unscathed. There is a brief moment of relief before the levees break.The power goes out, the aircon stops. The hospital’s nursing administrator and incident commander Susan Mulderick (Cherry Jones) discovers there is no protocol for evacuating the hospital in the event of a flood.
