The Rig (2023) is a tense supernatural thriller that unfolds on a remote oil rig off the coast of Scotland. The story begins as the crew of the Kinloch Bravo prepares to wrap up their operations and return home. However, their plans are abruptly disrupted when an eerie, dense fog rolls in, cutting off all communication with the mainland and leaving them isolated in the harsh, unforgiving sea.

As the crew struggles to adapt to their precarious situation, strange and inexplicable events begin to unfold. Equipment malfunctions, mysterious illnesses spread among the workers, and an unknown force lurking in the fog starts to exert its influence. The tension among the crew escalates as paranoia and fear take hold, with fractures forming in their unity as they grapple with the increasing danger.

At the heart of the chaos is Magnus, the rig’s steadfast leader, who must guide his team through the mounting crises while dealing with his own doubts and fears. As the crew searches for answers, they uncover a disturbing connection between the rig’s drilling operations and the ancient forces beneath the seabed. The fog is not just a natural phenomenon—it appears to be a harbinger of something far more dangerous and primordial.

As survival becomes the primary goal, the crew must confront not only the external threat but also their inner demons and moral dilemmas. The Rig combines atmospheric tension with a compelling exploration of humanity’s relationship with nature, touching on themes of greed, environmental responsibility, and the unknown. With its claustrophobic setting and relentless suspense, the series delivers a gripping blend of mystery, horror, and psychological drama.
