Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing and sci-fi fans. If you loved Stranger Things or FROM, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 6 hours in all.
What might put you off

A year after a subglacial volcano erupts, mysterious elements from prehistoric times emerge from the melting ice, bringing unforeseen consequences.
