Watching this mini-series right now and didn't find any commentary here. Has Colin Farrell in it who I believe is well liked on this forum.

The North Water
The series describes a mid-19th-century whaling expedition in the Arctic. On board the vessel are Patrick Sumner, the ship's surgeon and a man with a past, and Henry Drax, a harpooner and a thug. As well as whaling, the series depicts the slaughter of seals, and rape and murder aboard the ship. The ship's captain has conspired with its owner to sink the vessel for insurance purposes, but when it goes down, the ship that was supposed to rescue the crew is unable to reach them. As the men die one by one, Sumner is forced to battle not only the elements, but also the murderous Drax.

The show was decent, the book was a million times better. Probably one of the top 5 books I've read in the last 20 years.

glad I am seeing the show now then and will read the book afterwards. it's always a disappointment to find out when a show doesn't live up to a book.
