Like I said... I cannot wait for this complex thriller. What a brilliant cast, anyway! Also : beautiful, dangerous and wild Artic (or Iceland).
ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to this one. Been lots of great British dramas already this month (Wolf Hall and Cucumber, Banana, Tofu) but this is the one I'm really been waiting for.
ReplyDeleteIt's Iceland with imported snow ;) I feel the same.
ReplyDeleteThe cast is to die for!
ReplyDeleteReally hope the writing will level up to the expectations!
The wait is killing me!
