Review Rig 45: The Mystery of the Unpredictable Murder on the Oil Rig

Kapanlagi.com - What comes to mind when you are on an offshore oil drilling rig? Isolation, perhaps that's the first impression that many people will convey. In general, oil rig locations are far from the mainland. Visiting there once or twice can satisfy curiosity about how a giant steel building can stand upright in the middle of the ocean.

However, when a storm hits, it is actually anxiety that will strike, especially for those who are not accustomed to working there. Not to mention the social conflicts that can occur among the workers, without knowing the exact cause. This is what is presented in the series Rig 45.

Rig 45 stars Catherine Walker as Andrea Burell and Soren Malling as Jens. In addition, there are 7 crew members played by: David Dencik (Mikkel), Gary Lewis (Douglas), Joi Johannsson (Vidar), Lisa Henni (Petra), Bjorn Bengtsson (Pontus), Judith Roddy (Mary), and Jakob Oftebro (Halvar).

This mini-series, consisting of 6 episodes in the first season, really makes anyone who watches it guess what actually happened. How not, on offshore oil drilling rig number 45 suddenly there was an incident that claimed lives, making the atmosphere there tense because it was known that there was a murder case.

Interestingly, since the beginning of this series, viewers are introduced to each character who is at the scene. But, among them, there is a figure who is the mastermind behind the murder case. Although Andrea is assigned to investigate, it doesn't make the plot of this series easy to predict.

On the contrary, viewers are forced to think and piece together various evidence together. Because, Rig 45 is not a series that allows viewers to wait for the main character to show the sharpness of logic in connecting clues that can lead to the main perpetrator. This is where the attraction of Rig 45 lies, because viewers cannot root for just one character.

Moreover, in Rig 45 all the characters have almost equal roles, so there is no dominant character. In addition, in Rig 45 there is no detective figure with extraordinary logic skills in solving problems, so viewers really have to gather clues in each episode, and guess for themselves what the ending will be like.

However, Ola Noren and Roland Ulvselius actually made the plot in the Rig 45 script not as complicated as imagined. You just need to focus on watching the series with the excellent cinematography directed by Swedish director, Per Hanefjord, because each episode will always present a plot twist. Each episode of this Viaplay production series lasts about 40 minutes.

Rig 45 first season, not only highlights Andrea's investigation of the incidents that occurred on the offshore oil drilling platform. Because, in the process, Andrea encountered many obstacles. She even became a victim of a mysterious figure's assault. The situation worsened with the approaching storm that was reported to hit Rig 45, and the sabotage of communication devices that caused access to the outside world to be cut off.

Can the inhabitants of Rig 45 survive the mysterious terror that stalks them? And will the mastermind behind the murders on Rig 45 be revealed? Discover the motives behind the events and find out who will be left on the offshore oil drilling platform by watching the Rig 45 series on Mola TV.
