Extremely strange series. I had to watch the first episode twice to try to make sense of this. Just finished the second episode and it is so weird, I think I am wasting my time. This jumps all over the place and then they throw in a nude man walking out of the bathroom (I think it's the bathroom). It just does not add anything to this story. I have continued watching this series. I'm on the third disk now and there is so much that does not make any sense and so much use of the "F" word, often several times in the same sentence. EXAMPLE: I cannot think of any child the age of 9 or 10 who would climb through the bedroom window and walk barefoot and shirtless through the arctic snow. This is too peculiar to contemplate! The second bare feet hit the snow or the shirtless chest felt the cold air the individual would feel the pain! What is the child doing in the enclosed chamber? Did I miss something? Is that supposed to regrow healthy tissue on his frostbitten feet? The scene with the chubby sick girl, what was that all about? Without spoiling anything the scene I am referring to is after she has been sick for some time and then gets out of bed and has a confrontation with the lady (is the older lady her mother? Is the boyfriend her teacher or her father?) What a sick plot this is. Gruesome and bloody scenes. Yet I see many 4 star comments. Well, I watched Fortitude until the end. Even watched the Bonus clips, it is a science fiction type of story so of course it doesn't make sense. I have to admire the actors, makeup artist and the sets and all the work put into this, but I would not recommend this series. Just not my type of story.
