Trakt for iOS
Works on iPhone and iPad.
It starts off well, natural disasters, animals behaving aggressively, a new disease spreading... but it quickly dives into the horror/science-fiction/mystery scenario... and of course, that unknown intelligence hiding in the sea... sorry, but that's so done ad nauseam already. I don't know the book this is based on, mind you, but I'd have hoped for a more scientific explanation, I don't know some kind of climate change changed the physiology of existing species etc. Not this nonsense. And the ending was so predictable... sorry, but how often did I already see someone swept up on the shore, moving, opening their eyes and they're glittering now? That's so cliché... and it's also an open end. Why can't series be led to a proper ending any more?
And the characters... they're all so good, so committed, so utterly bland that I can't find any reason to really care.
I also realize that Europe's a small continent... but small universe syndrome where f.e. Sigur is in Geneva at one scene, and in the next he's at his house in Trondheim (a house which isn't really centrally located), then he's in Kiel, and then he takes a helicopter to the Shetland Islands... give me a timeframe of a couple of days for that, but the way it's shown it practically all takes place simultaneously.

@nicky2910 The book it is based on is clearly better. Especially the ending seemed very much shortened and changed from the original in the TV show. Of course, the story doesn't do anything earth-shatteringly new, but this pseudo-scientific thing, similar to Dan Brown and his novels, fascinates me a lot. The book also has much more action and antagonists. I would like to see a movie adaptation with high production value.
