The Head

The start of the series is very good and after seen the first episode I really though I had found a hidden gem. The acting was good enough and the suspense set at the beginning is intriguing. Unfortunately it feels apart halfway through it with classical tropes that we have seen it to death in murder mysteries. The series also goes for the typical twist at the end which sadly have became commonly used nowadays but worst of all is that it is so telegraphed that you see it coming from a mile away.

Overall this series is just above average, not a great show but if you like this genre and don't have anything better to watch it may be worth a shot.

A good effort, well directed and acted, enjoyable for the first four episodes then the plot just falls apart. This ends up with you feeling a little cheated, there is genuine mystery for the initial episodes but clearly the writer couldn't think of a mysterious enough ending so went for the obvious and used method.

One of the best mystery series I've seen this year so far. As I started watching, I thought it was just going to be the usual antarctic sci-fi horror rip off the The Thing. Only when I kept watching it, I realised this is a different beast all together. The way they kept revealing secrets slowly, peeling off the true mystery; it was just absolute brilliant. It made me keep guessing & second guessing myself.

I do urge the people here to keep watching till the end to find the real mystery, this show had so many layers to it. If you're one of those people who just watches the first episode & think I've seen it all before, trust me you're so wrong. This is one of those shows you just have to watch it till the end to get the twist. I'm not gonna give away the twist but I'll say this, it's only by the sixth episode you start to see the whole picture.

Verdict - Brilliant.

I guess there is nothing more I can say to describe yet another TV series.

I knew people are stupid and selfish. But I did not know that scientists were that stupid and that selfish. This idea of isolated humans and a murder mystery has been done before, right? The script is confusing, the dialogue is irritating, or in other words, typical TV fare.

Also, nothing in the show makes sense. One day the sky is blue, the next day,the sun is gone and the dimwits in the Polar Station are immersed in the deepest winter night walking outside with their faces exposed to the Antarctic freezing air. I would not be surprised if at the end of the series it is revealed that the killer is a rogue Polar Bear.

Amundsen and Scott must be turning in their graves.

I can understand why a lot of people like this show quite a bit. It had a lot of potential - decent acting, an intriguing Agatha Christie + John Carpenter setup - but ultimately is two episodes too long, with a resolution which, while somewhat surprising and engaging, is too preposterous. I'm not sure it was worth the wait of 6 hours of viewing time. If you do watch it be sure you do so right up until the closing credits.
