Much of the pleasure of these Remote Noir dramas comes from their able synthesis of the old and the new.
Like its Remote Noir compatriots, "Fortitude" doesn't do noisy, shocking things simply to get attention; it efficiently amps up the stakes by showing just how much it would cost each individual to reveal all of his or her deepest secrets.
"True Detective" could also be considered an entry in the Remote Noir category; Season 1 was wonderfully atmospheric and evocative, but the drama was on much wobblier ground when its characters questioned, without much consistency or enthusiasm, the power structures that allowed elaborate crimes against the poor and the young to go unpunished.
The capable and compelling "Fortitude" generally hews to forms that have emerged in the Remote Noir subgenre; it's a welcome entrant into a crowded TV field (though some of us trudging through mountains of snow might wish there was a little less frozen tundra in this program, which is set practically on top of a glacier).
