Fortitude 2015

I loved season 1 but after it finished the show had a sharp decline in quality.
The tense mysterious atmosphere had been raplaced by a human experimantation plot intertwined with a undeveloped political conspiracy that no one even tries to explain. Among the new characters we have a stereotypical corrupt politician, stereotypical junkie delinquents, a killer whoes shamanic rituals and beliefs were also never explained and one of the main characters of the first season was turned into a demonic boogeyman. At this point I feel as if Fortitude is geting the Wayward Pine treatmant, as if Sky atlantic wanted to continiue the show but non of the directors and writers did, so they got an entirely new crew.
My recomendation is watch Season 1 and pretend it ended there if you can.

@mokins Have to agree here. Though it's not nearly as bad as Wayward Pines season 2, the character drawing and development really lacks a foundation, you don't have any sympathy for anyone of the characters left because most of them have gone nuts or showed their dark side, which has clearly overpowered them. This makes any sort of empathy impossible.
I still liked the way they introduced the mystery stuff and they stepped up their horror game, but still we should've had a better explanation of where this shaman came from and his knowledge/reasons. The so-called demon was explained though,bees and stuff, also happened in 1942
Season 1 is still recommended as one of the better mystery-crime shows, Season 2 sinks into the mid-range sector. Still hoping for a better Season 3!
