A reworking of the classic mystery theme of an isolated trapped group of multinational people, most of whom have a shared past, begin to be killed off one by one. Add the 6 month polar night, the deadly temperatures, polar T-3 syndrome ( a real behavioral affliction of polar explorers), interpersonal issues, loss of communication, planetary ecological implications, and attempting to reconstruct events from the traumatized memory(?) of a person who might be a victim or a perpetrator makes for an interesting mystery. Yes there are physical events that require a suspension of disbelief and some questionable decisions made by various people. You might at first think that it is just another formulaic plot that you have seen before but it is well worth watching to the satisfying conclusion.

When the communication to the outside world stops, Everything is suddenly falling apart for a small group of scientists of an International base station in Antarctica. There are six episodes each creating enough suspense and thrill to make you binge-watch the show. The BGM and Screenplay are the highlights of the show. It's one of the shows in which you keep guessing 'what will happen next?'. Though the last episode seems rushed, overall you won't be disappointed if you love mystery thrillers like Me! Highly Recommended! 😄

I have to disagree with all the low score "i figured it out" ever so clever crew; when I watch a movie I switch off and let it flow over me and I didnt figure out the ending at all and found it a pleasant surprise or "twist in the tale" as they used to say in the days of Tales Of The Unexpected and it was well pulled off in my opinion for what it is worth. As long as you can still watch a movie for the enjoyment and are not the type who sits and picks all the flaws with the plot, trying desperately to figure out the ending to prove how smart you are and picking issues with props I am sure you will enjoy this.

It is not too long and drawn out unlike the recent Hugh Grant fiasco murder mystery "The Undoing". This is well paced and fits the 6 episodes perfectly although the acting is not stellar, it does well with the location and story so I am giving it a Good 7/10 stars with an extra star for the ending which i found most satisfying.

The start of the series is very good and after seen the first episode I really though I had found a hidden gem. The acting was good enough and the suspense set at the beginning is intriguing. Unfortunately it feels apart halfway through it with classical tropes that we have seen it to death in murder mysteries. The series also goes for the typical twist at the end which sadly have became commonly used nowadays but worst of all is that it is so telegraphed that you see it coming from a mile away.

Overall this series is just above average, not a great show but if you like this genre and don't have anything better to watch it may be worth a shot.

I can understand why a lot of people like this show quite a bit. It had a lot of potential - decent acting, an intriguing Agatha Christie + John Carpenter setup - but ultimately is two episodes too long, with a resolution which, while somewhat surprising and engaging, is too preposterous. I'm not sure it was worth the wait of 6 hours of viewing time. If you do watch it be sure you do so right up until the closing credits.

One of the best mystery series I've seen this year so far. As I started watching, I thought it was just going to be the usual antarctic sci-fi horror rip off the The Thing. Only when I kept watching it, I realised this is a different beast all together. The way they kept revealing secrets slowly, peeling off the true mystery; it was just absolute brilliant. It made me keep guessing & second guessing myself.

I do urge the people here to keep watching till the end to find the real mystery, this show had so many layers to it. If you're one of those people who just watches the first episode & think I've seen it all before, trust me you're so wrong. This is one of those shows you just have to watch it till the end to get the twist. I'm not gonna give away the twist but I'll say this, it's only by the sixth episode you start to see the whole picture.

Verdict - Brilliant.

I guess there is nothing more I can say to describe yet another TV series.

I knew people are stupid and selfish. But I did not know that scientists were that stupid and that selfish. This idea of isolated humans and a murder mystery has been done before, right? The script is confusing, the dialogue is irritating, or in other words, typical TV fare.

Also, nothing in the show makes sense. One day the sky is blue, the next day,the sun is gone and the dimwits in the Polar Station are immersed in the deepest winter night walking outside with their faces exposed to the Antarctic freezing air. I would not be surprised if at the end of the series it is revealed that the killer is a rogue Polar Bear.

Amundsen and Scott must be turning in their graves.

I just completed S1-E3 and have to get this out of my head.

I'll probably watch the whole series because it's an interesting enough drama/mystery. The acting is fine. The directing seems at least mediocre. The writing is reasonably good drama, but did anyone on this project consult an expert or two.

There are immense issues with the way the arctic winter environment and the tools, clothes, skills, etc. Necessary to function are portrayed. Literally every character seems like a theater kid's conception of their functional stereotype. People, particularly skilled intelligent outdoors-people and scientists do not behave this way...AT ALL. The outdoor wardrobe choices are ridiculous.

Having worked outdoors at -20 to -30+ degree F, I may be a bit judgmental. At 10-20 below or beyond you do not go out without face protection and goggles. If you're spending significant time, you're also wearing arctic boots, mittens, and down pants. Your hood is definitely up and pulled tight around your face. And that's the tip of the iceberg. The writers blew it on loads of cold related details.

That said, it's an interesting enough mystery drama to continue watching. I'll try to revise this review after watching the rest of the series.

For now I'd say this series is entertainment junk food. Not exactly filling or wildly delicious, but tasty enough to nibble while having a beer on the sofa.

Whodunit type mystery/drama. Certainly an international effort - Spanish/Japanese production set at a research station in the South Pole in English, Swedish and Danish languages and filmed in the Canary Islands. Some great performances from some of the cast, keeps you guessing until the end.

TV series (2020-) in 2 seasons and 12 episodes, it is located at the Polaris VI international station, in Antarctica. It is only known that every April 29 in Antarctica, the sun sets and does not rise again for the next six months. Winter has fallen on the South Pole, and most of the staff evacuate the Polaris VI Antarctic Research Station. A small team, known as the Winterers, will remain at the Polaris VI Antarctic Research Station to continue their innovative research, a crucial part in the fight against climate change. The small group stays on to continue their work led by renowned biologist Arthur Wilde (John Lynch). But when spring comes, summer commander Johan Berg (Alexander Willaume) returns to find the entire team are either dead or missing. The Head is in a strange way in a facility that has occurred at the South Pole. There is only one survivor, but he does not remember anything of what happened. A killer is on the loose and Annika (Laura Bach), Johan's wife, is missing. If he wants to find her alive, he will have to trust Maggie (Katharine O'Donnelly), the young doctor who is traumatized and apparently the sole survivor from the group. The Longest Night !. The Coldest Truth !.

Whodunit in which a serial killer executes gruesome murders and an investigation attempting to resolve. Through questions and flashbacks from the only survivors, during that period of winter time, the scientific group has ended up dying one less person and they will try to find out the truth behind this strange event. An intriguing and apocalyptic story that focuses on an investigation of the inexplicable death of a group of scientists. Thrilling, suspenseful series packing chills , tension, noisy action, violence , intriguing events , gruesome slaying and winds up into an astonishing finale. Exciting, slow-paced and stirring development , though predictable, when starring find that their colleagues are being murdered one by one ."The Head" was filmed on location in Iceland and Tenerife, Canary Islands, España. In the first episode the series pays tribute to John Carpenter when the remaining crew is watching The Thing (1982), and the plot The Head (2020) bears a certain resemblance to that film. There're a nice actors in the cast, such as: John Lynch as leader of the innovative research, a crucial part in the fight against climate change, Katharine O'Donnelly as Dr. Maggie Mitchell, Alexandre Willaume, Johan Berg , Richard Sammel as Erik, Tomohisa Yamashita as Aki, Hovik Keuchkerian as Charlie, Laura Bach as Dr. Annika, Alvaro Morte as Ramón, Enrique Arce as Óscar, Mónica López as Astrid, among others.

Compellingly written by David and Alex Pastor, they offer us an intelligent flick of the frozen Antarctic, tense, intimate and committed, they're expert on apocalyptic and Sci-fi films as ¨Carriers¨, their first American film with Chris Pine, Piper Perabo. David and Alex Pastor Brothers directed in 2013 ,¨The Last days¨ , with Quim Gutierrez , Jose Coronado and wrote Out of the Dark (2014) and Eternal (2015). This killer-chiller coproduced by Spain and Japan was professionally directed by Jorge Dorado. He's a good craftsman who has shot decent films and TV series,such as: Objetos (Lost and found) , Mindscape, Gigantes, El Ministerio del Tiempo, Feria: La luz más oscura, El embarcadero (The Pier), among others. Rating: 7/10. Decent series that will aapeal to mystery thriller fans.

Interesting but with a disappointing ending. The first chapter was fantastic, telling the story from its end. Was cool. And the following chapters, from the first to the fifth episode, were very good but the last one was terrible .. There is only one witness for the prosecution and is she credible? I didn't like the ending, OK?

A good effort, well directed and acted, enjoyable for the first four episodes then the plot just falls apart. This ends up with you feeling a little cheated, there is genuine mystery for the initial episodes but clearly the writer couldn't think of a mysterious enough ending so went for the obvious and used method.

Hmmm. Mystery murders in Antarctica during the long winter. Without giving details away, do not these type of assignments fully vet their personnel? WTH. Who assigns these people to these types of long job assignments at the bottom of the world!? Give me a break! Again murder mystery theater!

I've watched 2 episodes so far and it's actually very good. The idea is great, the setting is perfect, the acting is realistic and more than satisfactory, the suspense is almost palpable... congrats are in order. For those who didn't like it, I understand that a major problem was the fact that the dialogues are in other languages, as well as in English. So, I presume we talk about reviewers whose mother tongue is English (Americans, I dare guess). C'mon, fellas! Language alone is no serious reason to dislike a show, unless you are uneducated, (culture-wise), narrow-minded and you think the entire world evolves around your microcosm.

I can't deny that I was entertained enough through this series to binge watch most of it. The atmosphere lent itself well to a thriller, and I will always vote to see unfamiliar faces on the screen rather than the same people all the time. Some of these actors were great, a couple not so much, but the cinematography and editing were quite good.

Story wise, I'm not a fan of the twist ending genre. While The Head still managed to keep my interest, the last couple episodes were a bit rushed and messy. The final truth is dropped on you like a "gotchya!" moment rather than something for the viewer to understand and discover on their own. I didn't entirely buy it, and to be honest I was pretty disappointed that everything had built to reveal such a far out explanation. Just because you don't know for sure who dunnit, doesn't mean it's clever.

This is an excellent who-dun-it series much in the old school style of 'And Then There Were None' like an Agatha Christie novel. Murderer on the loose, questioning the motive of each of the players with a little bit of the story unfolding after each death. I loved the multiple twists in plot and it kept me guessing. I appreciated the novel idea to set the story at a science station in Antarctica. Film gave a nod to some famous explorers as well as to another film set in an Antarctic science station that will go unnamed.... Unlike other reviewers I enjoyed the climate change elements in the script, it added a new dimension to the story-telling, but can appreciate why other reviewers thought it was perhaps insulting to scientists or weakly represented. One recommendation, this is not a show to binge watch in one sitting. Take your time with it, enjoy its complexity and excellent acting, there is a lot going on in each episode that you don't want to miss.

Glad that it was a mini series. If any longer I could have been bored. Rather predictable but as of this writing all the TV series of my choice are on hold due to Covid-19 and supply of good dramas are lacking.. otherwise I could have missed this one easily.

I only got a couple of episodes in and I had to stop. The plot was heavily reliant on heavily flawed people acting badly. When you realise how intensely people are scrutinised and analysed before being sent to Antarctica, this just seemed so unlikely it seemed a tad ridiculous to me. If you're happy to suspend your critical faculties and roll with it, you might enjoy it but I couldn't.

I highly recommend this if you want to kill time, its got a proper ending no cliff hangers. So your patience will be rewarded by answers to most questions. Apart from a decent plot and camera work the acting of the main characters keeps you hooked for the entirety of the 6 episodes.
