A surprise sci-fi drama from the niche platform AMC. This year, I have dabbled in a lot of new sci-fi dramas, especially Netflix, but I usually give up an episode. It’s not just pretending to say nothing and wasting a lot of production costs, or script actors It's all boring dramas with nothing new. This drama is the only new sci-fi drama that I have finished. First of all, this drama follows the usual characteristics of AMC drama series. It is slow and warm. After watching three episodes, I haven't touched the story line. At this time, what supported me to watch is the superb performance of a group of British drama actors and a few sporadic foreshadowings in each episode. , but this kind of slow heat is also good. In the middle and second half of the episode, the past of the main characters is revealed little by little, the tension of the plot gradually emerges, and the experience of chasing the drama becomes very smooth, and it can't be stopped at all!

As a sci-fi thriller, the synopsis feels like the B-movie "The Thing" from the 80s, but such a novel by Dan Simmons based on Zweig's biographical novel "The Great Tragedy" is not so It's simple. After reading it, I found that the test of human nature in extreme environments is the main point (the British drama is well performed). Instead, the tuunbaq, which is all foreshadowed, has a very short appearance and does not have any direct promotion effect on the plot: this expedition starts from It was doomed to fail from the beginning, the ship was trapped in the Arctic Ocean and could not move forward, and the captain missed the opportunity to retreat; the canned food on the ship did not meet the production standards, all of which were poisoned cans, which were poisoned to death, but starved to death; elements, and the people behind them escaped on foot and were instigated to mutiny. During the whole process, tuunbaq occasionally ran out to show off his presence and seriously injured one or two people. The purpose was to drive these arrogant British navies out of their own territory. It was not a big threat at all. Poisoning meat, unlike Zweig's praise for the courage of the victims of the Arctic expedition, the reason for the failure of the expedition in Dan Simmons' story was not natural disasters, but all man-made disasters.
