Fortitude

[Dr Nowt]

Just finding it impossible to give the slightest fuck about any of the characters or who did what.

 

There's no chemistry between any of them and little screen presence other than Tucci, but worse for me, they've overplayed their hand with the tone.  You can't just artificially create heightened tension with a moody, foreboding soundtrack playing over every scene and little else to earn it.

 

If it didn't have the novelty of an amazing setting I'd not have stayed with this.  Too cold, tried too hard to drive home the theme of neutral morality so the viewer's suspicious of everyone.

I think it's okay but that frozen mammoth better have some weird, makes-people-crazy disease in it.

May well be the hook for the remainder of the series.  Hope so, as Vincent Tabak is then likely to get it from the object of his feeding.

[Carvalho Diablo]

It seems pretty obvious that ...

 

 

the kid stoved Ecclestone's head in when he bent down before him drying him off, probs because he was having some flash back to that creepy feeder / school teacher dude, giving him a gobble in the class room. Defo a black metal loving nonce that speccy cunt.

 

 

In a twattishly paradoxical fashion I'm pleased that Fortitude is proving to be a mammoth shit fest waste of money, not least because I cannot stand those fucking Sky cunts, but also because it seems to disprove Sky's money money money buys success approach.

 

As Dougie Doins would say, Fuck em. FUCK EM.

Watched the latest episode - grim!

[aws]

Enjoying it but have got a horrible feeling it's not going to end up anywhere other than as an unsolved puzzle to be taken forward to Season 2.

[ratcatcher]

Missus watches this which surprises me because of the 'fuck' and 'cunt' flying around! And what the fuck was that with the fork and spewing all about? Fucking insane shit.

More likely to be supernatural in nature I reckon.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Episode 7, amazing twist !

 

 

It gets even more fucking boring !

 

[Hades]

It's getting sicker and weirder by the week. Hope it keeps going in this direction.

[Dr Nowt]

Started to pay-off last week. 

[Juniper]

Glad I didn't watch the last episode with the other half. with the ending in mind.

 

Finally starting to pick up a little pace now., although still not sure about this show.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Can't agree at all mate; it remains shit and if anything, is getting even shitter by the week.

[Welsh]

Binned this off after the last episode. Good fucking riddance.

[Original202]

I liked this more for the scenery and landscape than anything else but even that is getting old now with the same shots of the same scenes.

 

I'll probably watch the final episode but can't say I've been blown away by this. The end of the last episode was just too bizarre and not congruent with the rest of the series. Good idea but not particularly well executed and too many flaws in the storyline for my liking.

I agree. Considering the amount spent on this, the cast in it etc, this is quite a bad showing I’d say.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I persisted in the end, that last episode is totally fucked up

[Guest LFD]

How many episodes are there in the series?

[Carvalho Diablo]

How many episodes are there in the series?

 

One tonight and the last one is next week (I think).

 

Honestly don't even think I can be arsed to dl the last 2 episodes. I might follow young Welshy and bin the shite off for good. Seriously one of the most tedious and overrated shows that I can ever recall.

 

Some called it Eldorado in the snow. Bang on.

[Mendoza]

With the exception of Tucci and Gambon the acting is bloody awful. Even Richard Dormer is shite and he's a decent actor. 

 

Oh and accroding to Wikipedia there are 13 episodes, so still six fucking left.

Part of me wants to stop now.  But I think I have come so far, I might as well finish the series.

 

Agree about the acting, it is dreadful.  

[Mendoza]

Thats exactly how i feel, giving up now is like conceding defeat. Same with a shite film, i never turn it off or walk out of the cinema. Like to suffer until the bitter end.

I disagree with you about Gambon mate, I think he's also been bloody dreadful. I think the bottles of voddy he's supposed to be knocking back might well be the real thing because he's trundles through each episode like a piss head who couldn't give a one.

 

And THIRTEEN episodes ?! Cheers mate but you've just made my mind up for me and put the FO into Fortitude.

 

Ghastly show. Bring back Sunset Beach.

[Dr Nowt]

Laughably poor ending.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Laughably poor ending.

 

What happened then mate ? Put me out of my misery...
