Bugger me, I find this show to be unbearable to watch. It's not so much the violence, but the implied, always unexpected threat and the creeping claustrophobia of being trapped by the ice. But then, I've spoken to others about this show and none of them find it remotely scary.

I'm not sure about the scene of captain Brutus going through the theater masks in episode 6. It's well shot, but they ramped up the sense of dread to the point where it felt ridiculous considering that nothing actually happens.

Do you mind putting stuff like this in spoilers?

Episode 10: Was there meant to be any significance behind the officer who had pierced his face with his chains or was it just simply to highlight how mad they had all gone? I know I'm probably overthinking it, but that scene really stuck out to me in the otherwise very depressing montage.

Yeah, I recall some of the characters talking about it an episode or two later.

I had a hard time telling most of the officers apart, especially once they all started cultivating grizzly beards.

Thoroughly enjoying this chat. As an aside, I'm currently in Hobart and I visited the tiny Maritime Museum today where they have Franklin's pistols, which he left with his wife when he returned to England in 1843. I must admit none of this would have been of interest to me had I not watched the TV show, but it's cool to unexpectedly see real life connections like this.

Ah, if only I had a spare $330, assuming prices are American. I'll keep it in mind as I'm sick of my jumpers getting holes in them.

It took me three goes to get through the first episode and I've been putting off watching the second for weeks now. I suppose it's good to see I'm far from the only one to not be feeling this season.
