The North Water

This is a superb BBC production.

We need more Victorian dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

Tom Courtenay went from "The Loneliness of the long distance Runner " 1962 to this and he still has it ! A great actor and 59 years of greatness.

Colin Farrell is a beyond evil and brilliant, and our morally greyed area main lead , Jack OConnell is exceptional too.

Great sets, great editing, great atmosphere MORE please.

A dark and twisted tale with some fine acting and good production taking place in the cruel world of whale/seal hunters in the mid of the 19th century. Lots of blood, sweat, grease, crime and violence. A show for a mature audience without any unnecessary gimmicks - recommended if you like such shows like Taboo or The Terror, or movies like In the Heart of the Sea, the classic Moby Dick, The Revenant (DiCaprio), The Vanishing (Gerard Butler) and so on.

"The world is hell and men are both the tortured souls and the devils within it."

A dark and twisted Story with great acting from The lead actors especially Colin Farrells one of his best performance of the last decades.

Well acted, great story. Very gritty.

Stephen Graham, brilliant as always.

One reviewer said they couldn't see anything on screen. Sounds like they need a new TV. They also said they couldn't understand the actors accents. It's set in Hull in 1859. How do you expect them to speak? With a plum in their mouths.

Very engaging period sea drama starring Jack O'Connell and Colin Farrell. Both are excellent here, Farrell is fearsome.

The plot follows a troubled ship's surgeon (O'Connell) on his first voyage aboard a whaling ship in the mid-19th century. He encounters some unsavoury characters with their own agendas.

The plot is good, the acting excellent, it's very realistic with the setting and style (and even a lot of the plot) being much like the series 'The Terror'. Worth a watch.
