    • Trivia
      Repurposed from Moore's take on "The Thing" which was planned as a 6 to 8 hour mini-series on SyFy with participation from Frank Darabont at one point.
    • Goofs
      The series depicts day as bright and night as dark in the Arctic. However, north of the Arctic circle (which is the implied location), because of the tilt of the earth, they would have 24 hours of daylight in the summer, and 24 hours of dark in the winter.

    6/10
    Good concept, bad delivery
    To start off with the good, I will say that the show "sounds" very appealing (deadly virus outbreak on a massive secluded base in the arctic). The general setting/premise is solid.

    The show fails however in many facets. The acting ranges from mediocre to sub-standard, though I don't blame the actors. While I can't say I enjoyed any of the performances, The writing is where the show falls apart.

    If you tasked someone to find a team of writers to do a project, but instead of doing any work finding the right writers, they just hired a football team (no offence to football teams here), you would have the quality of writing in this show.

    The characters typically do not act rationally (rationally referring to how a person might normally act under the same circumstances). Conflict feels like it is created on the spot, and often leads to very unrealistic sequences of events.

    The show has poor dialog, and very undefined characters (their personalities seem to change radically without a proper basis as to why).

    I could go on, but I would like to end on a positive note.

    Despite having it's serious flaws, you may find yourself still willing to endure this series. It has mystery, it has action, it has zombie-ish themes, and from time-to-time has a few moments.

    FAQ6

    • Where is the station located and are there any countries' laws governing it?
    • Why doesn't the CDC just take over the facility and why would Arctic Solutions call the CDC?
    • Why don't the CDC researchers keep in touch by radio or wi-fi VOIP?
