The North Water (2021)
Step into the icy, unforgiving world of The North Water, a gripping historical drama that takes you deep into the Arctic’s treacherous waters. Based on Ian McGuire’s acclaimed novel, this limited series is a dark and haunting tale of survival, morality, and the brutal nature of man.
Set in the 1850s, the story follows Patrick Sumner (Jack O’Connell), a disgraced ex-army surgeon who joins a whaling expedition as a doctor. His journey becomes a harrowing test of endurance as he encounters Henry Drax (Colin Farrell), a harpooner whose violent and depraved nature knows no bounds. As the expedition sails further into the ice, survival depends not just on braving the Arctic wilderness but on facing the darkness within.
