The North Water TV Thread

[David76]

"The North Water tells the story of Patrick Sumner, a disgraced ex-army surgeon who signs up as ship's doctor on a whaling expedition to the Arctic. Onboard he meets Henry Drax, the harpooner, a brutish killer whose amorality has been shaped to fit the harshness of his world. Hoping to escape the horrors of his past, Sumner finds himself on an ill-fated journey with a murderous psychopath. In search of redemption, his story becomes a harsh struggle for survival in the Arctic wasteland."

BBC Two/AMC+ five-part television serial, based on Ian McGuire's novel of the same name. The series premiered on AMC+ on July 15, 2021.

The cast looks strong.

Finished it this morning. Lots of hard-hitting themes, especially the theist, polytheist, and atheist takes on life; in particular that of greed and redemption, and the comparison of man to animals. It had a classic noir feel to it; the sense of inevitable tragedy played out slowly and simply. Brutal, yet satisfying.

Kinda like The Revenant, only with sea shanties and skulduggery.

I've watched 3 episodes so far and I'm enjoying it a lot. Jack O'Connell and Colin Farrell's performances have been excellent.
