The Head

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
