FORTITUDE
Sky Atlantic, 9pm
JUST hearing a boot crunch on snow in this horror Arctic saga sends a chill through me. With deadly parasitic wasps, psychotic polar bears, freezing weather, exploding helicopters and murderers on the loose, we’re not sure why anyone would live there.
Nothing good ever happens in Fortitude and this third and final season promises to be no different. There are only four episodes this time, but prepare for each one to pack a punch.
After the lynching of governor Erling Munk, there’s debate over his death.
The theory “He threw himself out of his office window,” isn’t washing with everyone.
Meanwhile, Oslo despatches two new officers to try to make sense of the anarchy.
Sheriff Dan Anderssen, played by the brilliant Richard Dormer, continues his descent into madness. We’ve already established that he’s barely human anymore after his wasp encounter.
He finds himself going head to head with the grief-stricken Michael Lennox, played by Dennis Quaid.
