Like a well brewed cup of Earl Grey, The Terror is just the right blend.
Take a group of 19th century English explorers, led by "man of his times" Captain Sir John Franklin played by Ciarán Hinds. A reckless glory hound hell bent on personal prestige, who revels in the narcissistic Nationalism of Britains golden age of empire.
Contrast this with the raw reality of black ice, a savage landscape and something more lurking in the wintry snow swept darkness. Its coldly creepy, atmospheric stuff, with a slow menace that adds depth to what is shaping up to be another excellent series from AMC.
Some have called The Terror survivalist horror. I'd call it "isolationist." There is no surety of survival and indeed, the overriding sense is not so much one of survival but of when and how, the key protagonists might die.
In summary, a fantastic cast, wonderful visuals, great narrative and a brilliant story adapted from the novel of the same name by US author Dan Simmons. 10/10 from me.
