Titled The Terror, the show boasts a very impressive 94 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes for its first season.
The little known-about series stars a few famous faces too, including The Crown’s Tobias Menzies, Chernobyl’s Jared Harris and Ciarán Hinds – best known for 2020 comedy film The Man in the Hat.
The show is split into two series – with the first covering the lost journey of Captain Sir John Franklin and his crew through the Arctic Archipelago as they are tormented by a supernatural creature, while season two, The Terror: Infamy, takes place in the US during World War II, with an ‘uncanny spectre’ following a ‘Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific’.
