Hmmmm... Can anyone tell me if "Kill 'Em All 1" is worth watching?...

Ummm, not really. I just watched it after Arthur brought it up in one
of his WDYW discussions. It's not something I would rush out to watch
as even the fight scenes weren't that good.

The Rig          (complete season 2?)         (12:01 am, Prime Video)
 
Magnus MacMillan (Iain Glen) and his crew on an oil rig off the coast of
Scotland are ready to return home when they suddenly find themselves
enveloped by fog and find communication to the outside world cut off.
Also stars Emily Hampshire, Rochenda Sandall, Abraham Popoola and Martin
Compston.

Could never get to season #1...

I liked Season 1 and will definitely be watching S2 to see how the
story develops.
