Length:
10 episodes.
Notes:
The first episode is strange and interesting. Someone put "Twin Peaks" and "The Truman Show" into a blender. Hopefully the subsequent episodes will live up to the promise shown by the beginning, but you never know.

Length:
Season 1: 12 episodes. Season 2: 10 episodes (airing in 2016).
Notes:
"Fortitude" starts off at a slow, deliberate pace, but still manages to be pretty engaging. By the middle of the series, there is a creepy, unsettled atmosphere with the kind of tension you only get from a well-told story. Little star power in terms of casting, but the acting is very good. The show was very well received by critics, but lacks the stars and fast pace usually favored by the general public. ** He's the one eyed man who keeps coming back from the dead in "Game of Thrones".
