Well done, but incredibly boring. The last two series could not bring myself to watch three days, although it seems like the finale, denouement, catharsis. But I read about this expedition and realized that this is a reconstruction of real events. In fact, it is known that the expedition went in search of the northwest passage, they were covered with ice, they wintered more than one winter in the ice, and then ran out of food they went on foot. In the end, everyone died of hunger, cold and disease. A couple of years later, rescuers were sent there. They found their remains with traces of cannibalism, which is not surprising in this situation and evidence of meetings with them local residents. The ships searched for the rest of the time and were recently found. The equipment of the rescue expedition was obtained by the wife of Captain Franklin and spent the rest of her life and money. That is, the story is quite well known and described in detail in Wikipedia. In principle, a ready-made drama, but if you describe it realistically, you need to make some money to make it interesting. Well, the author, without thinking twice, added mysticism to it. And I think he killed everything for me. I understand that it is difficult to make a hopeless story with trivial reasons and an interesting outcome, but adding some nonsense as one of the reasons for this outcome, which also turned out to be extremely indistinct, was not the best solution. The penetration of the left passenger on board, who turned out to be the troublemaker who seduced part of the crew to all sorts of nefarious acts such as riot and cannibalism, although it looks like an attempt to justify such unworthy behavior of gentlemen, but still more logical. And in the end, mysticism choked on either the poisoned bodies or the dirty soul of this scoundrel. Amen. In general, it is not clear why real events, with real events and characters, “decorate” with some strange things. Everybody died anyway. It would be better if the aliens took them.
