One part of the ending that I didn't like was that it very quickly breezed past a lot from the novel, which I suppose makes sense because it would have been at least half an episode of content. There's a prolonged period of recovery for Crozier during which time he bonds closely with Lady Silence and they become lovers. And by removing that part of the story, the TV show makes it seem like Crozier's making an illogical decision to stay in hiding rather than the more emotional tone of him finding a new home and a place where he belonged.

Part of the story that is also developed more in the novel is that Crozier isn't really that well respected as an Irishman under English rule. He's clearly a very capable leader and has the respect of his men, but that's earned respect. Compare that to the expedition leader, Sir Franklin, who is... a moron. It's a long-running theme of incompetence in confidence, and Sir Franklin does not have the respect of the place they are in yet he is in command. But Crozier finds a place amongst the Inuit, who don't seem to treat him as a lesser man, just a man.

You are getting downvoted because someone told you what they think the best part of the show is, and you assume it's the only good/interesting part. You do this several times in here, which is why I asked my question below.

I stopped watching 'Fear ....' pretty quickly. I wanted a show set around the actual outbreak, leading up to it, just after. I thought that would be it but within a few episodes it was all done

I just stuck with the original show and I think I am ok with no more

I am going to need to see some incredible reviews for me to be tempted to check this out

Yes the canal + series w/Gabriel Byrne, I love the complexity of his character but the French scientist was the my favourite she's an amazing actor and ash the Irish guy the acting all round is excellent

I just binged the three seasons

Season 3 being my favourite

If you like that you will probably enjoy dark which is also out of this world

I had a lot of fun. A couple of things bothered me, like >!how everyone that helped them eventually died (happened three times, it kinda gets old), and how this tech girl with no knowledge about her uncle and aunt's real job, also with no training, was somehow always able to help in a fight (even killing two assassins), lie and hack every computer or system (this part is understandable since she worked with security but it still feels too convenient).!< but regardless, it never took the foot off the gas and it got me addicted.

The final episode has a big one lol

Spoilers below....

>!There's a bomb in a small Pelican Case at the retreat. Maybe 3 pounds max. She finds it with 3+ minutes left before detonation. All she had to do is pick up the brief case and chuck it deep into the woods and walk away.!<

Perfect as is! He didn't owe them a damn thing and nothing to go back home to.

On a side note: One of the few shows (or rather this particular season) that was flawless top to bottom. Left me in awe! That being said, I was so disappointed with the forthcoming seasons!
