[TV] began watching "Fortitude". am impressed

Filmed in Iceland with a cast of English-speaking Europeans and Stanley Tucci. It would be a disservice to call it a murder mystery.

Originally a Sky.com original series, you can find it in the U.S. on Pivot, which I didn't even know I had until unearthing it in a U-verse channel search.

For recaps the best source I've found is: »www.theguardian.com/tv-a ··· -episode

Episodes available on Amazon Instant, Vudu, iTunes.

Also, via "alternative" means.

It's a great series. Beautifully filmed.

Has a The Killing vibe but in an icy setting

It has a very slight 'Twin Peaks' vibe also. A little weird at times.

Given the choice between Amazon at $19.99 for SD and putting up with (and fast forwarding through) commercials on Pivot in HD for free, well, you might imagine the choice I made.

What I can't imagine is living at that latitude.

Yeah. Pivot. I've got my channel listing to hide the hundreds of channels I don't watch. Dunno when U-verse snuck this one in, but happening on an online review and a web search revealed Pivot was part of my household's HD lineup. Hopefully you'll discover it part of yours as well.

Donald Duck maybe?

Don't get Pivot on Frontier FiOS but other means seem feasible...

At the time, it was more like a Robin Williams' helium impression.

No. Seriously. The word intended sounded like voice. It has since been corrected. Good eye there, dc.

Pivot,....yeah, I checked and I have the channel as part of my HD lineup. It's channel 552. On one system it comes in fine as part of my CableCard setup but the other system I have to manually add the channel through a setup process.

Anyway, there seems to be something like three or four episodes tonight so I setup recordings for them,...

I have Amazon Prime but I don't think its free with prime so I'm not paying for it,.....

That could be because Sofie Gråbøl is one of the main characters in both the original "The Killing" as well as "Fortitude".

I just started watching and was going to say, it's very Killing like. Kinda makes me wonder why Stanley Tucci is doing in the show, you'd think he'd be above TV.

Not just that but a DCI with the MET, and he's American? That's a stretch by any kind of imagination.

3 episodes in and I'm totally hooked though.

That was the tipping point for the plot.

The writers have honed a really good question, what is waiting for us under the permafrost as global warming melts it?
