The North Water (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟭)

A brutal tale of survival and darkness
The North Water is a gripping miniseries that immerses viewers in the frigid, unforgiving waters of the 19th-century Arctic. Based on the acclaimed novel by Ian McGuire, this five-part drama is a visceral exploration of human nature, morality, and survival in the harshest conditions.

Set aboard a whaling ship headed for disaster, the story follows Patrick Sumner (played by Jack O’Connell), a disgraced former army surgeon seeking redemption. But her journey takes a darker turn when she confronts the brutal and menacing Henry Drax (Colin Farrell in a career-defining role), a harpooner whose violence and amorality embody the savagery of nature.

As the crew battles treacherous seas, dwindling supplies, and their inner demons, the line between man and beast blurs. With stunning cinematography that captures the raw beauty of the Arctic and chilling performances that lay bare the depths of human depravity, The North Water is a haunting and unforgettable exploration of survival at the edge of the world.
