Spoiler Free Review: You Should Be Watching "The Rig"

Spoiler Free Review: You Should Be Watching “The Rig”

A new series, “The Rig,” has quietly made its premiere on Prime Video, and for the life of me, I don’t understand why it’s not getting more buzz. In the series, a group of workers on a remote Scottish oil rig is set to return to the mainland; however, when a mysterious fog enshrouds them and a supernatural force takes hold, they find themselves in a struggle for survival. First off, the cast is fantastic and boasts names such as Iain Glen (“Game of Thrones”) and Emily Hampshire (“Schitt’s Creek”), with supporting actors such as Owen Teale (“Game of Thrones”), to name a few. The entire cast leaves their mark thanks to their “all-in” emotional performances, with Glen’s character leading the way. The supernatural force at the heart of the series is unlike anything you’ve seen before and is depicted with fantastic special effects. The thing is, the reason for the thing’s attack is kind of noble in a way.
