a dark and brooding masterpiece
when i first heard sowing season i knew i had stumbled upon something special, such a restrained piece of music with melancholy singing into these punk/indie esq guitars, it was unlike anything i heard at the time, not to say the rest of the devil and god follow this laid out path, but it's a very restrained piece of music, only letting it's restraint go at certain points for the ultimate moment or chorus, the masterpiece of this album has to go to limousine, it starts off slow with soft singing and acoustic guitars until the vocals and guitars kick in, after that it slows down again, letting the soft and passionate singing take centre to then build up to this brooding and beautiful catharsis that when it peaks is some of my favourite music ive ever heard, both conceptually and in practise, i encourage anyone who sees this to listen to the devil and god, it's a brooding masterpiece that surely won't disappoint

Gets weirder each series
I loved the first series of Fortitude. The setting, Arctic Norway, was beautiful. The town of Fortitude has a selection of characters from different countries, all of whom seem to have some kind of secret, and who are played by a great cast. It can be quite slow moving at times, but there is a lot to take in. This is not a show to watch half-heartedly. There's mystery, intrigue and a bit of gore thrown in, too. I've seen comparisons to Twin Peaks - that might give you a bit of an idea of what to expect. If you like scandi-noir and a bit of dark humour, you'll like Fortitude.

(SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD)
In series one, a mammoth is found under the ice, threatening the development of a new hotel and Fortitude's first murders occur. There are many potential suspects but it turns out it's not just a straightforward case of finding who is responsible.

Throughout the three series' there are scientific discoveries and experiments, a shaman, missing persons, people possessed by parasites, a schoolteacher with a feeding fetish and many, many questions.



The first series was superb. The second series was just as good but started to get a little weirder. The third series is shorter than the previous two at only four episodes, but managed to fit in a whole lot more weirdness. (Dance with a burnt corpse, anyone?)

Series three is reported to be the last, and I think that's the right choice, but the ending does leave the possibility of the cause of Fortitude's 'problems' starting again somewhere else.
