The depiction of polar night was unrealistic as usual.

They showed the last sunset at ~68.5°N on December 17 with the sun dropping down vertically, quickly followed by darkness. That only happens in the tropics. In the Arctic, the sun rises and sets at shallow angles with long twilight before and after.

Also, at 68.5°N polar night begins in early December. There was a comment in the show about it only being the first week of darkness and things already going crazy. Well if the polar night started on December 17 it would last for about ten days so the first week of 1.5 isn't saying much.

Around noon there's also civil twilight for about five hours at that latitude which means that it's light out but the sun is not visible, it's just below the horizon. The show went for pitch black darkness 24/7, that only happens close to the poles at latitudes ~80° and up. It may fool people in the lower 48 but Alaskans are having a laugh.
