"The Rig is absolute shit. Basically, it the Doctor Who episode The Curse of the Black Spot but stretched out from 40 minutes to six hours. Even great actors like Martin Compston, Iain Glen, Mark Bonnar and Mark Addy look bad and that reliably over-acting cսnt Owen Teale goes for a life-time best. The funny actress from Schitt's Creek who played the receptionist/manager is given lines to say that make her seem more wooden than Pinocchio. Plus it's unrealistic and woke as fuck. Half the crew are women and in the very first scene we find out, for no discernible reason whatsoever, that one of them is in a same-sex marriage. In the first episode all the comms go down, so who do they send up a two hundred foot ladder in a dense fog and in a storm just to check if the magic radio switch is turned on? Yes, the smartest bloke on the rig and resident comms expert who is the person on board who you can least afford to die. Fucking hell it was bad."

"Bell Is all episodes out at once or week by week? The offer has been mentioned a few times here, quality show. We started The Recruit on Netflix, it’s decent, good story although a bit far fetched at times. But stil enjoyable"

The Rig is not bad. A bit like like Vigil but with a supernatural theme albeit ridiculous. Glenn and Compton and other good actors carry it of.

"Welcome to the Chippendales. Interesting to see how it all started, along with the crimes that went with it, but as a drama it lacks anyone who is a likeable. At eight episodes, I'd avoid, unless you like seeing muscly men in thongs."

"Nurse Ratched 5:17 Tue Jan 3 Totally agree. Watched it when it first came out and as you say it was grim, but outstanding. Liked the way they made it technical but in laymans terms so the viewer could understand what was going on."
