Didn't they say that none of the young survived? The other icebergs seem to imply that maybe there are other nests, but it's never confirmed.

I suggested that before the show came out. It was just a guess.

I had to turn it off. Couldn't get past the horrible accents.

Well, I finished it- I kept hoping it was all going to come together. But no, it's one of the worst things I've devoted time to on Netflix, which is saying something.

SPOILERS:






The little island close by that he landed on- were we supposed to know the main guy? Was he a character early in the show? And the black headed chick was so distraught that they were leaving her- yet she could come and go as she pleased, as evidenced by her coming to "seduce" Wade? And what was the stuff they were smoking that came from "Mudder"? And how did they get it in the first place? And how is there an army presence in the area, yet 5 of them just jump out of the helicopter, but no one can seem to catch them? And this thing is a killing machine, but in the end, it turned into Free Squid Willy?

Unmitigated garbage.

Well shite. I was planning on starting this tonight.

I still plan to, but I think my leash may be shorter now.

The atmosphere initially is great, and the scenery is spectacular. Hartnett is really good. But as someone said back in this thread, it completely goes off the rails. It wasn't sure what it ultimately wanted to be, I think (or- I thinks, as the script on the show would dictate).

Pretty much. The only thing this accomplished was me wanting to watch 30 Days of Night again

Man that ending sucked. Thought it was going to be a cool monster show and then they end it with that drivel.

By the time it goes off the rails you’re already done. It’s 6 episodes at 35 mins a pop. It’s super fun for a while and entertaining enough.

This was a huge disappointment.

What a bucket of fail this show became.

that's why it's still a recommend from me. by the time you get there, it's done. you're like wait, what the frick? then it's curtains. so while the story doesnt pan out like i woudl have liked (i would have preferred it stayed a straight up monster movie), the majority of it is still pretty good.

sort of the game of thrones thing - good, good, good, good, wait what?, the end

Wow, that was really terrible. It started out strong then imploded. I should have rewatched Widows Bay instead of 6 episodes of this “ting.”

Just finished it last night. While ya, the last two episodes were definitely written while smoking some of "mudders" ganja, it wasn't as bad as you guys made it out to be.

I liked it.

I am three episodes in and liking it so far. Not sure where it is heading or if there is a twist coming, because for now it seems like a pretty straightforward premise.

The accents are awful though, that much is true. I have found that they have eased back a little on them after the first episode though at least.

How horror is this? Is really scary/creepy gory or more mystery with some jump scares etc?
Might start this and see if my young teenage daughter might want to watch it.
If it's really scary she will be out.

Started watching this show a couple of weeks ago. I’m intrigued to see how it ends, but for whatever reason just doesn’t hold my attention. Think I’m on episode 4-5 but lately seem to switch it off after only 15-20 minutes when I try and watch.

It is not "scary" at all for the first three episodes IMO. Just some creepy "on the water" type scenes. The gore is not heavy so far, barring one particular scene that lasts a few seconds.

If she likes tame horror and creepy vibe type stuff, this fits that bill so far. But again, I am only through the first three episodes.

Why didn’t they use the footage of the squid eating the moose and people. They didn’t use it at the town hall when performing ole were suspicious and that one guy was talking about no footage existing and wanting to get film. They had video of it!

Butterfly Effect is such a fricked up movie. It's like being kicked in the balls by the end.
