Apologies if there's already a thread, I couldn't see one.

Anyone else watching?

Supernatural thriller set on an oil rig off Scotland.

It's got Iain Glen (that's me, I'm in 😁), Martin Compston, Marc Bonnar, Richard People, Ser Alliser Thorne from GOT, a new Scottish actress (who's good) and Rochendra Sandall.

I'm deliberately not reading any reviews as I'm enjoying it and don't want to be put off.

@gawditswindy - American woman grows on you. All 3 women are pretty good in it (so far anyway).

,@Faircastle - indeed it is. I binged all 5 seasons and loved every single episode. It really helped that the main character is effing gorgeous.

Half way into ep2. Makes Vigil look measured and sensible. Hate the American woman (but I think we're meant to). I like the fact that Mark Bonnar's character is reading a book about the kraken.

@Awrite I haven't seen that yet, but will add it to the list. Is it available on Prime?

,,@Faircastle - have you watched The Last Ship. More dystopian future but with your love of all things shipping ....

Ooooh, thank you! That looks right up my street.

I love sci-fi and two of my recent interests are shipping containers (especially as used for accommodation on offshore rigs) and grab-bags. Enjoyed episode 1 but trying to ration it.

On episode 4 now
Quite enjoying it

I’ve given up into episode 2. Is it worth going on? When stuff started happening to that blokes arm, I just thought this was all a bit shit.

Thank you for the heads up. Now we know what we are doing this evening.
