Chloe S @RT33488535 Apr 12 I’ve rarely been this disappointed by a series that started with so much promise. It features a powerhouse cast,including Russell Tovey and Jemma Redgrave,who are completely betrayed by a script that abandons logic in the final act. The real villain here wasn't the sea creatures; it was the writing. After building a complex political and ecological thriller, the show resolves everything with a genocide plot that makes zero sense. The mechanics of the Severance virus are a mess,if the protagonist is a carrier who has close contact with the lead Sea Devil, the internal logic dictates the ending shouldn't even be physically possible. To make matters worse, the show sets up a global environmental catastrophe with the melting ice caps and then just... moves on? It ignores the very physics it established to chase a cynical, hollow "victory" that leaves the audience feeling like they wasted their time. A grim, logically broken conclusion to a series that could have been great. See more Andersen O @RT16626658 Mar 14 enjoyed watching this, just the ending not what I like. See more Mark H @Shanobian Feb 17 It's alright. Interesting premise but a clear left wing pandering propaganda poster disguised as an interesting invasion story. The plot builds and builds tension promising action but aside from one boom nothing happens. Then the ending comes so left field that its clear they didn't know how to end it, it just ends. No big payoff, nothing explained just a catastrophic terrible ending that will make you wonder why you wasted your time.

Visually, the production is serviceable but equally inconsistent, some sequences effectively convey scale and menace, directed adequately enough by Dylan Holmes Williams; others suffer from lacklustre CGI, laughable staging and Lorne Balfe's overly dramatic scoring, loved the Heroes needle drop though. I got strong Children of Earth vibes throughout, almost as if there was a conscious effort to replicate what made that series so good. However, it lacks the big emotional hook, mature tone and Euros Lyn's impeccable direction of that monumental miniseries. As harsh as it may sound I'm being, The War Between the Land and the Sea is very well-intentioned, timely and conceptually strong while being genuinely great at the same time, reframing the classic Sea Devil mythology through a modern ecological lens.
