Robert R @rrossregan 3 hrs ago This show is total crap! Horrible! Don't waist your time. You are better off watching an octopus movie on the Discovery channel. See more Laura L @laurakali 3 hrs ago Took awhile to catch me. Soundtrack is great. Story was very creative and unexpected. See more Joshua T @RT80025647 5 hrs ago What a brilliant show! Set in Newfoundland, one of the most beautiful places on earth, this mini series is a great little watch for all fans of Jaws, The Rig or The Swarm. A great story, with a great cast who seem to have really embraced the Newfoundland culture and as a Newfoundlander myself, its great to see my homeland put on the map in such a big way. The special effects were top notch, it's humorous, emotional and action packed and one of the best TV shows to come out of the province. See more Burgie N @Burgie 5 hrs ago So unfortunate, couldn’t get past half way because the accent sucks. Could have hire better actor…. Wish i could have stick around to understand the plot, but the accent… oh lawd. It is very inconsistent with the accent, they keep going in and out, and it’s very hard to ignore. See more john F @Stra2d 6 hrs ago It's clear that the producers didn't know where to go with this one. Started with great potential and turned into a cluster - F ! See more Redford W @RedWing_2026 7 hrs ago I liked the story and the twists, and it was good to see Josh Hartnett as the protagonist once again. See more Read all reviews
