Nice, I can't wait.

As someone who read the book my guess is it'll be something totally new. The show more or less follows the book right to the end, minor details are changed but otherwise it's note for note.
Good old Amazon. Assuming non-Japan Prime versions have it as well.
Thanks for the heads up. It's not free with Prime yet here in the US but I'll keep an eye out... hopefully soon.
Most of the reviews are critical about the fantasy / monster angle. Ignoring the source material, I sort of agree (though I'd probably rate it higher than 3.5 stars) as it seems like you could create a similarly interesting story without that part. While watching the series I wondered if anyone has written a story about two ice locked ships in proximity and created a story about some tense drama between them lol. Seems like a good setting.
Also on amazon jp, The Expanse is also rated 3.5, and I only found out about The Terror because of The Expanse. I read somewhere that the actor Jared Harris wasn't going to be returning for a season, possibly because of some other show (this one) and here we are ~
Being that it's completely unconnected from the source material now, I'm glad the premise is at least really unique. That alone will get me to watch.

I haven't seen it, but Fortitude is supposed to be good. Avoid Helix at all costs.

Helix provided me with some of the biggest belly laughs I've ever had with a TV show, for what is worth.
This is interesting to read. I finished the book last month and assumed the entirety of the TV "The Terror" would be 2-3 seasons following the book.
My ears pricked up when I read "anthology" in the title. Interesting.
I really enjoyed the book when I read it a couple of years ago, but thought the show was possibly even better, mostly thanks to Jared Harris's excellent performance which elevated the latter parts of the show beyond what the novel was able to do for me as it was winding down. Gives me hope for a second season, though I wonder what they'll be basing it on. The show was as I said stronger than the book, but the premise (which Dan Simmons thought up) was a good foundation for it.
Yeah Fortitude is pretty cool. I still have to see see most of season 2 tho. Somehow I don't like the pace and some of the characters so I kinda put it on hold for now.
TV:
Fortitude (Amazon Prime Video). I know people who've liked it. I didn't after 1 ep.
Helix (Syfy). I thought it was garbage.
Movies:
Whiteout. Kate Beckinsale is the only law enforcement in an Antarctic research station during the winter and there's been a murder.
Wind River (Netflix). Not arctic but lots of snow. Good movie about a murder in an Indian reservation. Great cast.
John Carpenter's The Thing. Yes it's monster, and it's a classic.
I had no idea there would be another season, is Ridley still producing? I dunno, I thought the original run did all that needed to be done.
If you guys enjoy the show and like audiobooks The Terror narrated by Tom Sellwood is the very best audiobook I've ever heard .He does accents and voices for all the characters and it's just really impressive. I thought i t was preformed by a cast until I searched audible and found out it was by a single narrator. And if you're in the mood for more Dan Simmons horror be sure to check out Summer of Night and the sequel A Winter Haunting. Dan Simmons has another horror novel called Carrion Comfort about mind vampires I've only read a little bit of it but it was interesting I dunno why I didn't finish Carrion Comfort I probably got caught up playing a game.
Trapped is really good. Coming back for a second season soon I think too.
Fortitude was great for the first season I think, but the 2nd and now 3rd are not as good sadly.
It did. As the topic title states, *anthology*. It's been posted about in this topic for months that season 2 is set in WW2 US.
Has there been any word on the supernatural element of season 2, or if there even will be one?
Are we gonna see a tuunbaq in America??

The second season will "center on an uncanny specter that menaces a Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific." Whether this specter is real or metaphorical is unclear.
Doubtful.

Cannot wait for this to come back. Low key my favorite show from last year besides Better Call Saul.

A good thing about the new setting is that at least it won't look as cheap as the icy hills of S1. Ship and UK scenes were fantastic, but set ones were incredibly evident.
It's available on Amazon, but last time I checked the series costs about £24.
Finally watched this and the last episode was so intense and gut wrenching ugh.
Show had more who the fuck is this character moments than a Pynchon novel tho
