The Terror
2018 · 2 Seasons · AMC · Horror Drama
The Terror's first season is a masterclass in historical horror, using the doomed Franklin Expedition as the foundation for a story about leadership, hubris, and the slow unraveling of civilization at the edge of the world. Jared Harris delivers one of the finest performances of the decade as Captain Crozier, and the show's atmosphere of creeping dread is unmatched in recent genre television. Season 2's shift to a completely different setting and cast divided the audience, but the first ten episodes stand on their own as a complete and devastating piece of work.
