“Delirium” is a TV series based on the dystopian novel by Lauren Oliver. The story is set in a future where love is considered a dangerous disease called “amor deliria nervosa.” The government mandates a procedure called the “cure” for all citizens when they turn 18, which erases their ability to love, ensuring a controlled and emotionless society.
The protagonist, Lena Haloway, is a 17-year-old girl who eagerly awaits her procedure, believing it will bring her safety and stability. Her views change when she meets Alex, a mysterious boy who introduces her to the underground resistance fighting against the cure. As Lena spends time with Alex, she begins to experience love for the first time, challenging everything she’s been taught.
Lena’s growing rebellion puts her at odds with her family and the authorities. Her best friend, Hana, also begins to question the system, though their paths diverge as Hana follows the rules while Lena embraces the resistance. The series explores themes of freedom, choice, and the power of human emotion in a world that seeks to suppress it.
As tensions rise, Lena and Alex must navigate betrayal, danger, and the harsh consequences of defying the government. The story builds toward a climactic struggle between the oppressive regime and those who believe love is worth fighting for. The series blends romance, action, and dystopian intrigue, leaving viewers questioning the cost of a society without love.
