Avis à la une
Not sure why the negative reviews. This series reminds me of Vigil but I am enjoying it far more. There are some stellar and well known faces in this series, especially Owen Teale in a different role for him. Also it seems to me that anything with Martin Compston or Mark Bonnar in it is sure to be a good watch and they have not disappointed. It's not particularly original, there are subtle shades of Alien, The Thing and various other horror movies that I can't remember the titles of, but definitely not as frightening. This is a good solid thriller and mystery to enjoy after the excitement of Christmas and the current wet weather here in Oz.
The problem with the series is symptomatic of most of the big streaming giants. Good idea, great cast, adequate budget - then no idea of how a script develops. Six episodes for this was far too much, leaving the plotline long and dawn out. The character development is minimal and rudimentary and ends up with generalised cliche and arguments that they need to sustain conflict.
Owen Teale, Iain Glenn, Mark Addy and the effortlessly brilliant Mark Bonar are great. It's just the whole thing is drawn out, under developed and with four episodes the whole thing would have been tighter and the cgi budget more targeted. Not great.

I found this to be very easy watching,but there are several things that stopped it from being really good.
Won't mention any names,but some of the acting, including from fairly major characters, was truly lamentable and stopped this from being believable! Seemed to me that they were more schooled in stage acting than film/TV productions, with wildly over the top facial expressions at times!
Also, at times it didn't feel like it was filmed on an oil rig at all,I don't know if it was or it wasn't,but at times it had a stagey/set feel about it which took away from the feeling of isolation,that to me, it should have had.
Having said all this,it was an easy watch,just switch your brain off before you start viewing, and don't question it too much. I'm sure some of the bigger names in this might leave it off their CV though!

I must be in the minority on this one and I'm sure lots of people who disagree with me will downvote this review in disgust or perhaps because they can't accept that other people might enjoy something that they didn't enjoy and they want their opinion's constantly reflected back to them.
But... I thoroughly enjoyed this and watched the first 3 together and would rate those 8 for enjoyment. Ep 4 was ok and the last 2 didn't enjoy as much and I found the climate messaging to be hamfisted and a bit preachy but as I say I did actually enjoy it overall and not really sure why people seem to be down down on this show.
I'd give it a go if you haven't tried it. Love the actors too especially the GoT brethren.

Sure the plot has holes, the characters lack character but all in all the effort was there to deliver a reasonable series with some plot to look for. Maybe an 8/10
But then Rose comes along ... why but why does it have to become a child's play with absolutely ridiculous amount of head movements, amazing amounts of deep breathing and attempts to move facial parts that, let's be honest, can no-longer move. Sorry the deep "sexy" voice did not save it either. Simpler natural "human" discussions would have gone a long way to save the show.
Visual effects btw did a good job (nothing is perfect) and the soundtrack could be less repetitive...
PS: congrats to the chef, doctor, shooter and welder role in one character (wonder if it was a budget issue) ... rofl
PS2: when you literally click the cancel button on a search window you are cancelling the search... duh .. no point showing "no search results". A simple clip of the scene and the "click"... hahah.
