Fortitude is a town in the Arctic that is unlike any other place on Earth. Surrounded by the picturesque polar landscape and filled with residents who form a tight-knit community, the town has never been the site of a violent crime. That changes, though, when a research scientist is killed, which leads to an investigation that prompts police officers begin to suspect and mistrust one another. Members of the community also struggle to understand the terror that has been unleashed among them. While all this is going on, above-average temperatures result in record ice melt, which reveals secrets that have long been hidden underneath Fortitude's frozen landscape.
Fortitude — Season 2

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Fortitude continues to effectively emulate the chilling gravitas of Scandinavian procedurals in a second season that ups the wintry sprawl, morbid mysteries, and routinely excellent performances.

Gabriel Tate Times (UK) The whole exhaustingly peculiar mess looked as great as ever, but bore no scrutiny; coherence has hardly been the point of Fortitude, which is best watched with tongue firmly in cheek or not at all. Rated: 2/5 Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Hamish Macbain Empire Magazine Thankfully, in what you might term 'reverse True Detective syndrome', it feels like lessons have been learned from the first season and applied to the second. Rated: 4/5 Nov 7, 2017 Full Review Allison Keene Collider Fortitude is a weird series, but it's also unexpectedly easy to get pulled into. Rated: 3/5 Apr 14, 2017 Full Review Henry Northmore The List Seems to boast a sleeker storyline that builds on all the aspects that Fortitude has always excelled in: a brilliant cast trapped in a unique setting. Rated: 3/5 May 23, 2019 Full Review Paul Jones Radio Times Yes, Fortitude is back - in all its mad, gory, moody glory - and straight away I'm hooked again. Mar 12, 2019 Full Review Cameron K. McEwan Digital Spy While it never quite hit the bonkers heights of the first season's best bits, this is a welcome return for Fortitude - engrossing and disturbing, there's enough here to convince you to take another bite.

Gareth v Things are ramped up in the crazy stakes for season 2 and i'm not too sure if it works as they intended. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Audience Member First season was brilliant, binge watched it. Found the second season was completely lost. Some of the strongest characters (Morton) were sorely missed. The new characters were annoying and everybody suddenly became incompetent or stupid. Suspension of disbelief needed was too great, how can so many people be murdered yet no action taken from the central government, why don't people just leave the island? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Horrible show Every single person can just walk into police station take anything they need and not get caught...not just police station but also hospital, town hall, other people houses Police does more damage than good, most of them should be in jail for what they did but no, everybody walks around free...if they get caught in the jail somebody just walks in and frees them This show lacks any logic possible, the characters are lacking several digits in IQ The story is poorly written, its all over place with horrible executed plot twists The sheriff Dan is one of the worst acted characters ever, poorly written, poorly acted, just plain out horrible. The plot shield some characters have is just painful to watch. Maybe the worst show I've ever watched in my life Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Sharon E Do you sometimes continue eating something just because a part of you refuses to believe that excellent ingredients can actually yield such an bad tasting result? Don't be fooled by looks or accents - there's nothing typically British nor Scandinavian, but rather typically American, in this elaborate stew of class-C Science Fiction and class-D human drama elements, in a fancy coating made of a marvelous geographic and cultural setting, some excellent surrealism*, high technical level and good acting; where, as seasons 1-2 advance, all this is compulsively topped with growing amounts of blood on snow, body parts (external and internal, of both animals and humans) detached from their original owners, and numerous forms of behavioral / mental pathology / insanity (of both animals and humans). My greatest pity goes to the waste of opportunity to create a fresh, original, powerful and possibly much more meaningful and entertaining piece of realistic or surrealistic drama, and the waste of such excellent ingredients on such a shallow and ridiculous storyline. This was true for season 1 (i'd give it 2/5), but season 2 takes it even further, so that by episode 4 I finally had to run and rid myself of all i ingested. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/26/21 Full Review Audience Member Season 2 of Fortitude goes off the rails. Not worth it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member It was horrible and wonderful at the same time. One of those shows that you want to look away but NEED to know what happens next! The cast is perfect and would recommend to watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
