The Rig (on Prime)

[checjb]

This is shaping up well. 2 episodes in and really interesting. No idea what the hell is going on but enjoying the mystery.

 

[TriedandTested]

Agreed. Was expecting another flop but enjoyed the three eps so far.

 

[Kainz]

Bored out of my skull in eps3.

Characters are good but Iain Glen’s character is next to useless and reminds me of a character from Dr Who/The Impossible Planet episode.

It’s just plodding along slowly and I was hoping to have a deep sea reveal or something by now.

Watched the first 2 eps of it last night I like it so far.

Ep 3 was a bit slow to begin with and I did nod off part way through but I'm hoping the rest gets better. I've seen a lot of comments online saying it is really good at the end.

 

[One More Solo]

The trailer they played in the football looked unintentionally hilarious so I’m tempted to give it a watch.

It really isn’t, large cast of fairly decent known actors and after that ending I wished i hadn’t bothered, had potential but couldn’t maintain it

Yeah finished it last night and was rather disappointed. It looked promising but then from ep 3 just got worse

 

[hyperseven]

Series was stretched out far too much. Should've just been a two part mini-series.

 

[teenwolf]

Garbage

 

[wolfie138]

started interesting but then turned naff. nicely shot though.

 

[checjb]

Didn't expect that ending.

Just a reminder to the writers.... If you are writing a story, always make sure you have a good ending worked out first and then work out how you're going to get there.

If you haven't already watched this, don't bother, just watch John Carpenters The Thing and James Camerons The Abyss instead.

 

[McManicMan]

just watch John Carpenters The Thing

lol, was first thing that I thought of as well when they started talking about testing with blood

And Sharknado for the Vfx.

Way too long and often felt like a radio play.

 

[TriedandTested]

Yeah, started very well and kept my attention but the ending (or lack of) was very frustrating, especially considering the length of it all.

 

[UTmaniac]

Watched first two episodes last night, enjoying so far. However, the story feels vaguely familiar, am I mixing it up with another oil rig film/series or was this released a while ago?

This is basically 75% of movies/TV series these days - an interesting premise but they have no idea where to go with it or how to end it.

 

[robj20]

It was okay, ending could have been better.

 

[Bluecube]

Finished it last night. Felt it was overlong. Could’ve cut a couple of episodes off it. There was also something about the way it was filmed that reminded me of a soap opera - maybe the camera angles? That bugged me.

Having said all that, it was a reasonable romp left wide open for a sequel
