The Rig

Post by Micael »

I’m three out of six episodes in so far, and I’m quite liking this horror scifi set on an oil rig in the North Sea. Iain Glen and a whole bunch of other Brits in the roles. Available on Amazon Prime Video, worth a watch!

When the crew of the North Sea stationed Kinloch Bravo oil rig is due to return to the mainland, a mysterious fog rolls in and cuts off communication with the outside world. The crew will be driven to the limits of their endurance and loyalties and will be forced into a confrontation with forces that are beyond their imagination.

We tried it, liked it, got to the start of Ep5 and gave up.

It did rather feel like Line of Duty At Sea given the cast ;)

I watched it through to the end now, it got a bit shaky towards the end but it was fine overall I thought.

Watched it. Wasn't bad. You get the feeling they are really hoping for a season 2.

Beyond imagination, not mind-bogglingly incomprehensible ;)
