I've seen the first two episodes. This is similar to the Dustin Hoffman movie, "Outbreak" from 1986 which concerned the spread to the U.S. of a deadly African-origin pathogen. However, this show differs from the true-life book on the subject of the Virginia outbreak. In the real story, the pathogen outbreak happens, but it was harmless to humans, though they didn't know that at first. There are some science faux-pas (most of which 99% of the audience won't catch) here and people do things they would never do in real-life, but it's fiction and some of the science is actually good and interesting. This is partly because they had a science expert advising them. Would I have done it differently? Yes, I'd have stuck closer to the science but then I'm not producer. Definitely worth watching though.
