Approx length: 2 seasons, total of 26 episodes of around 40 min each
Where to find it: hulu and other streaming sites I believe
What is it, in summary?: a BAD science fiction horror drama that uses upbeat music when zombie-esque creatures are murdering folks in a remote research base off in antartica. There are intrigues a plenty, secret families, secret histories, secret cult, secret babies, etc etc etc.
What do you love about it?: Well, Dr Hiroshi Hatake (the bad-seeming leader of the base) is portrayed by Hiroyuki Sanada, so that's a big plus bc our man is H O T. It's also generally just bad, but a FUN sort of bad, that's very predictable and stupid but a little charming at the same time (or maybe that's just my nostalgia speaking lmao).
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Hiroshi /& Sarah fics (someone please save sarah from her overdone crush on the Main Character Man, please), pre and post canon (not season 2 compliant), crossovers, crack, AU etc etc
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: You do well enough with season 1. Season 2 is, like, a different vibe that is a lot more Culty and just leaves you with more questions than answers. Plus, Hiroyuki Sanada is not in it as much ;-;
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Uh, gore? There is a lot of black bodily fluid going around, some medical (mal)practice
