An enigmatic and engrossing whodunit that should move to the top of everyone's DVR queue.

I'll confess to losing the thread of the plot a time or three over the five hours I watched (the show debuts with the first two hours; there are a dozen in total), yet the location and the sense of unease that came with it kept pulling me along.

Fortitude turns out to be an intriguing blend of things a bunch of different nations' television networks do really well.

If you’re looking for a winter-time mystery that will show you people even colder than you may be these days, Fortitude is an absorbing one.

Fortitude, which was originally slated to air on Starz, doesn’t feel quite as urgent a viewing experience as “Broadchurch,” but the first two hours (of the 12-part series) introduce enough intriguing characters and relationships that it’s worth watching for fans of murder-mystery dramas just as long as the show doesn’t introduce too many red herring suspects (the show appears to be pointing to one already by the end of the premiere).

Fortitude has a lot going for it, but it lacks a unifying focus or center of gravity. Scenes seem slapped together without much forethought and with little connective tissue.

Simply being cryptic, though, doesn’t really advance the story, and at a some point, as hypnotic as all those snowy backdrops are, it’s easy to grow impatient with the assiduous, disjointed nature of the plotting.

should really separate first two seasons and the third - when things went wrong way. so as for season 1 and 2 - interesting to watch and follow the story, actors doing good - it was a pleasure. for anyone who started watching and liking it - stop at the end of season 2, that`s should be the end of the show.

I beg you, do not waste your precious time on Earth watching this rubbish. The first 2 seasons are great, really well written and thought through. Every episode had me biting my nails waiting to see what would happen next. At the end of season 2 I was telling everyone I knew about this magnificent series only to be severely disappointed in season 3. What a waste of time, I wish I never watched it. There are only 4 episodes in the final season and you might as well watch it with your eyes closed. How do you go from Hero to 0 in 4 episodes.
