I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Season 1 was riveting. It was interesting, suspenseful and intelligent. I particularly enjoyed Stanley Tucci as a detective sent to the tiny, snow covered Norwegian town to investigate a possible serial killer. His Det. Morton is calm, serious, and dedicated to his mission. He is met with resentment from Sheriff Anderson who does not want an outsider taking over his case, especially since he too may have something to hide. Tucci's understated performance as Morton is a perfect counterpoint to the quirky inhabitants of the town who live in that isolated community. The investigation takes an unusual turn and a plausible sci-fi element is added to the plot. The show is highly recommendable. Unfortunately, season 2 was quite different. Season 2 is again about solving murders but involves supernatural forces, mad doctors, corporate plots and bizarre plot twists not remotely believable. Det. Morton is not in season 2. Sheriff Anderson's personality is far different from season 1 and less interesting. Without Tucci, it seems the producers wanted another "name" American actor and hired Dennis Quaid. But while Tucci always disappears into his characters, Quaid always plays Quaid. Here he is again the tough, smart, honest, forthright town citizen trying to help solve the mysteries. The entire production seems more like a cheesy Si-Fi network movie.

As much as you would enjoy nordic drama - little, but tight community, cold, dark, rough climate and hard, no-nonsense people with few words and warm hearts in hiding deep down- you cant get it here. Its not that it isn't just that kind of show - no, it is actually, that's exactly what it tries to be. But fails with homeric laughs. The director of the show probably - and this is really going to sound ridiculous considering how much money studio has spent on this - but director has probably never been in those countries where the action takes place.There's so many ridiculous things - not only about Norway or Iceland, but just about culture in cold or northern countries - that its just reaches to absurd. For example children riding their bikes with hunting rifles on their back? Come on! Or a sauna scene at episode 1? That's how Mexican or arabian person imagine sauna culture, in real life strangers don't go to sauna naked. Not even most beautiful ones - who do know - also in northern countries believe it or not - that they are hot, especially when naked. And in season 1 almost half the cast afroamericans?? Its simply absurd - iceland and Greenland are not multiracial society's - European countries are nation-based countries, like it or not, thats simply how it is. In whole Iceland there is probably not more than 100 or maybe 200 black people, if that. And most of them are also just temporarily. Or what about the old mans home - 200 square meters hall with 5 m ceilings with one open chimney in the wall :D Are we talking about David Rockefeller? To heat up a room that size in a polar conditions where there's -50, -60 Celsius constantly... it takes... what... about 1000 to 1500 dollars a month to heat it up properly - that's why polar stations are small cubicles, not a huge house's. But not with a chimney like that - you need radiators and heat pumps and stuff - a LOT of those.Basically this show is as if someone has made a show about Acapulco where inhabitants spend a good time by skiing and ice skating, enjoy occasional swims in ocean with seals, where children ride their bikes with a bow in hand and all people look like vikings

Extremely good series , The story , scenario , the acting is simply great, Way much better than AHS (American Horror Story) and fear the walking dead, etc. I think just because is not an American production isn't so famous, but is one of the best horror TV shows. If you like horror, drama, crime, mystery and snow this is definitely a must watch!

I was under the impression that a season 3 was already in the works. This show is addictive, dark, and makes you want to snuggle up under your blanket and binge watch a season at a time. It 's a really good sci-fi with some G.O.T. Mixed in. Amazon, please give us more Fortitude.
