By the strength of its storytelling, the show eventually earns its darkest flourishes; it adds depth and real heft to its vision of the past as a land of monsters. In all, “The North Water” serves as a bracing plunge into inhumanity that’ll stick with you after its running time melts away.

Dark, suspenseful and chilling with a strong cast and an incredibly atmospheric soundscape, the 'every man for himself' brutality of the times is recreated here with such splendour, with the first episode setting up a premise that will be sure to keep you gripped.

Dark, brutal and gripping. This tale of survival really comes into it's own in the last few episodes where every man fights for themself in a harsh and unforgiving environment.
