Not as sharp as episode one, but still a good watch.

The team's hopes raise somewhat when a potential escape comes in the from of the escape vessel.

Maybe it wasn't as polished as the first episode, but it was still a fine second episode. I've been racking my brain trying to think what it reminds me of, and I think it may be Fortitude, it's that kind of vibe.

After episode one, I wasn't sure if it was going to be a straight up thriller, or something a little more sci fi focused, and I think the latter is perhaps true.

It's so intriguing, I'd love to know exactly what it is he saw in the water, if indeed there was anything physically there.

Hutton remains the most interesting character still for me, and Owen Teale continues to steal the show.

Rose is also becoming way more interesting, I'm sure she knows more than she's letting on.

Great special effects, great acting, a level of tension, they just need to push the story on a little in the next episode.

7/10.

Great cast, setting, premise, budget but still lame.

Warning: Spoilers
Why do people who know better, do inane things that are so predictable. Such as: boss- keep this gravely injured man who is behaving oddly, under close observation. Medic- okay. Then leaves him completely unattended and he Gets Up And Leaves. Boss: climb this wet ladder in fog using this safety harness. Worker- okay then gets startled by a bird and jumps off ladder.(luckily he's hooked on) then later falls from top of same ladder but not hooked on. Boss:angry worker comes into office to gripe. Worker: grabs private documents off desk after boss just leaves him alone then he reads docs to others while atop helipad.

Over and over people do stupid things that cause major problems but can easily be avoided. Lots of poor dialog. Too much occurs that's unexplained and random.

refreshing sci fi... different glimpse of what controls the earth

Season One was only upsetting because Season TWO is not available yet! The characters and the actors are almost all relightable. The action had me holding my breath at times. The concepts offer a different idea about what 'nature' really is. The plot shows both the brutal and invincible ways of the human spirit in a clear way. If anyone knows where I can get a book copy please let me know. Give yourself a treat.... just remember we have to wait for Season Two to be presented to us. I've been reading scifi for 6 decades and this is the most refreshing take i've read in years. Hurry up with SEASON TWO!
