TheRig is a British dystopian ScienceFiction ecothriller that really feels more like a DoctorWho story if The Doctor didn't show up (unfortunately). Opinion / PrimeVideo Amazon

\nThe Rig is an oil refinery off the coast of Scotland. It and its crew have secrets. Corporate has plans to decommission the rig. Then there's an accident. Or is it an accident? Then weird things happen that no one can explain. The crew was hoping to go home, but suddenly a thick fog came up, and all radio communication to the coast is down. People start acting strange. An ancient entity has been unleashed. Everyone is in danger. Everyone gets paranoid.

When Mark Addie – the blustery King Baratheon from Game of Thrones, no less – shows up as a bonafide corporate baddie who gets people killed , the characters continue to listen to this asshole instead of locking him up in a cabin or throwing him off a balcony. Instead, they let him walk around the rig talking to people, still giving orders and manipulating them again. This is an instance of a screenwriter thinking he's being very serious when it's just lazy writing.
