Ah movies…when they come up with a new idea ill watch one again.
Fortitude was brilliant.
Do we really need a season two? It started out great but then disappointingly became a weak stretched out X-Files type plot. Some good performances though and beautifully shot.
When is the X-Files back in the mix?
January I think. Can’t wait (he says, being overly optimistic)!
I loved the swerve that took it out of beautifully shot, well acted but oh-God-yet-another crime drama into something really weird and unsettling. You may be right about needing a season two, but we won’t know that till we watch it.
Jeez I really want to watch this now.
