It's a good few months since I enjoyed something as much as I'm enjoying this.

Using a real historical mystery as its point of departure, it has it all:

Meticulous attention to period detail.
First-rate acting.
Wonderful sets.
Intense and complex character motivation.
An atmosphere of icy isolation, the arctic's vastness; the insignificance of the crew when faced by it.
A brooding sense of unease that builds and builds.
Enough horror and gore to placate the blood lust of the must ardent horror fan.




Also, first season was based on a novel of the same name by top sf/f/horror writer Dan Simmons. Not much of his work has been filmed, but there's some others that could probably be done.

I'm wondering whether to read the book. Have you read it? If so, what did you think?

I have not, but I read some of his 80s and 90s material like the Hyperion Cantos and Carrion Comfort and he is an excellent writer. Have always meant to get back into him.
The book is a thick one.

If you liked this series, then be sure to check out the upcoming "North Water" with Colin Farrell.

It's based on the novel by Ian Maguire. It's a relatively quick read.

I recommend reading it before watching the miniseries.
