A Brilliant Conflict

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Never in the history of drama ever created a masterpiece such as this in the catagory of adventure and expedition. This started cold, deadly, eventfull and gripping with and ended colder, deadlier, eventfuller and mastering the grip.

Good cinematography, cast and acting, story telling, soundtrack, etc...almost all the things lacking in big budget modern series/movies. The most astonishing thing is that it does very much with very little, and is relatively true to the historical context (very rare nowadays), the big exceptions are the supernatural inserts along with the naive credibility and reverence given to inuit religion, and the lack of condensation when breathing (you can't really excuse this, but I asume it is on purpose as it may have looked bad or tiring on video, or tough on actors and production costs).I haven't read the book that is based of, and is evident that it was not faithful to it, but the only personal objection I have is with the last minutes, it looked very forced, pushing the "noble savage" myth, as to compensate and please the modern self-hating political ego.

After the 5th episode I had to stop watching it the most boring tv series ever.

Seldom does a show or a film with such an assuming title live up to it. But 'The terror' does indeed honor its name and set some solid baselines its counterpart wannabe horror productions would do well to follow. Because the real horror does not lie in the gore, the paranormal or a loud and strident music score. The terror, the real terror hides in the isolation, the uncertainty and the unpredictability of human nature.And not only does 'The terror' create a sense of hopelessness brilliantly, it does it through a masterfully crafted atmosphere, one of the best photography to be seen in any TV show in recent years and an ensemble cast that would put some blockbusters to shame. The actors do such a great job one can even overlook the occasional script flaws -to be expected in any show- out of pure interest in the characters' well-being.It's not easy to get into 'The terror', not a show for the ones looking for random violence or heart-stopping jumpscares. But for those looking for a more complex experience, one that does not treat the viewer as most horror flicks do, this show is a pleasant and rewarding journey with just the right amount of blood and mistery, and a generous serving of witty dialogue. A treat that we may not be offered again in the coming years in any suspense genre show.
