Thin Ice

Really don't understand the criticsm. Great series, realistic and in an exciting scenery! Good actors and awesome footage

Borgen Power and Glory was almost exactly the same storyline. I enjoyed it more and would recommend it! This show bored me to tears. Another slow burn... The first episode was okay but then it dragged.

The central - absolutely true - argument is beautifully spoken and demonstrated. But if this is a Documentary, then what is the plot? The main character is filmed clumsily spying around corners, finding conveniently open windows (in the Arctic), entering an upstairs room by slipping in at ground level, and generally succeeding at Superman speed.

The impossible human movements (eg, a whole ship's crew magically transported to a hut in the wilderness) detract in the same way.

The story behind this is very good, with greed (Russia) and (Greenland's First Minister) outwitting the Swedish argument (for the planet) and the social problems of indigenous Greenlanders are made clear.

It would be better shortened, with some of the silly action left out.

The true star is the Greenland setting. Breath-taking scenery. I can't really understand the negative reviews. There may be issues with use of language, but subtitles were good enough to follow what was happening. Plenty of plots twists and story lines and kept the pace over 10 episodes. The political state of Greenland was brought sharply into focus (like an episode of Borgen some years ago). Anyway, I enjoyed it and would watch a second series.

After having watched only 2 episodes I must say it is one of the timeliest series these days. A wonderful insight into the lives of Greenlanders and into the plight of the animals in the Arctic.Shocking scenes that might make the worst climate denier change their shallow minds. Not easy to watch, it is so painful what human animals have done and are doing to the Earth. But it has to be watched.
