Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Excellent, a Must See

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Brilliant cinematography. Stellar cast and acting. No stone left unturned in production. The only flipside is the pace of the show. It would be twice as riveting were the tempo a lot higher.

I'm not one for Historical dramas usually...but I like the stolid, emotionally gritty realistic re-imagining of what happened to a British expedition attempting to cross the Arctic. The portrayal of the Captains and the slow emotional degradation of the crewmen was riveting viewingI only have One Quibble: They Aren't Cold.The Set is perfect. I see master craftsmanship both on the ship and on the surrounding 'ice'.... but the Men Aren't COLD.Oh yes, they've got the coats on and they act miserable...but to me there's something missing. There's a certain hunching of the shoulders, the barely suppressed shivering, the involuntary twitching that comes from never actually being WARM.These guys are in the Arctic...in WINTER...but their Breath almost never fogs when they're outside. The Ship is LOCKED in ICE. These are Wooden Hulls from two centuries ago...but everyone is cozy comfy inside when ICE should be threading it's way inward.When they're outside, the hats and mufflers come off and the officers engage in long conversations as if it's Mid-October in a park. The Arctic is a place where men start losing fingers, toes and entire Limbs from prolonged exposure...but these guys AREN'T COLD! Other'n that...it's great drama.

When you find yourself yelling at the tv, that's just good times, right there. It seemed a bit quiet to start, but somehow intrigued me, likely because it was like nothing I'd seen before and you really get into the characters right away. After that, though, it took off and I couldn't stop watching. I was so glad that I had saved most on dvr and binge-watched, otherwise I would have been in miserable suspense every week. I do hope they somehow come up with season two, and please keep the same cast. That was awesome!

This show looks super gorgeous. The atmosphere is amazing.However I think the directing and editing falls very short.We receive a lot of melodramatic, meaningless scenes. We see characters behaving with great strength and then shortly later we see them behaving with incredible weakness.The horrifying scenes with the bear are juxtaposed with long mild sections where we see tough men going soft and batty.It becomes very hard to identify with or even like any of the characters.Also there are are huge temporal gaps in the narrative, sometimes months passes without action and then we telecope in to see a bit of manly melodrama.What are the crew doing for years frozen in the ice? They seem to be always busy and under strict command yet there is absolutely nothing they can be doing for months and months.All these little character/story inconsistencies make for a series that always feels odd and uneasy (in ways that were unintended).Also I"m not sure the CGI monster bear is really up to scratch.
