Review of Rig 45

Rig 45 (2018–2020)
6/10
Season 1 Excellent; Season 2 not so much...
10 October 2022
Good acting, great plot. An unexpected event less than half-way in that upends all the usual expectations of an investigative procedural, and works quite well.

The season 1 ending was a bit of a downer, but it did enable a strong start to season 2.

Season 2 started out well, despite having two very unlikable police leads, but after an early death the writing quality diminishes, and the survivors do more and more inexplicable things that throw you out of the show and should have been caught in quality control in whatever the modern version of "the dailies" is.

The scenery in the glory shots - where the day is clear, the water is still, and the rig and ship are sitting there - is spectacular.
