The Terror
Haunting, suspenseful and based on true events, The Terror centers on a perilous Arctic voyage by the British Royal Navy. It’s an extreme tale of survival in wholly unforgiving landscape - with the crew's fears exacerbated by an unknown threat.

Both seasons are so different and gorgeous, but season 2 is an incredible, heart-wrenching, multicultural masterpiece. The layers of interplay here are out of this world.
Awesome show! I love stranded survival stories with a creature roaming around. But to sound like a broken record in most of my comments i'll leave this here too. Some people should not be allowed to leave a review. They either try to make an argument while clearly not paying attention to the story or act like they're some kind of snobby critic. Get a life people.
I really wanted to like this series (as I personally love getting addicted to shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad), but like the other critics on here pointed out, it's pretty boring and hard to watch. The historical stuff is intriguing, but does not makes sense. The imperial British were not without their flaws and idiocies, but why would they have chosen to navigate such a long and treacherous sea route during the coldest part of the year? Their boats keep getting stuck in the ice, and that's part of what makes this so boring. The sailors of the 19th century knew that sea travel was very dangerous and risky. The only redeeming characters in this show is the monster and the inuit girl, but they still aren't very impressive or well developed.
Possibly one of the best examples in television of how to write a Pure Evil villain who is still nuanced, well-written, and fun to watch. Also proof that you can have a suprise villain in a series like this that doesn't rely on a cheap dramatic Reveal Moment, and that actually gets better on rewatch instead of feeling played-out. A show like this really didn't need a human villain (or a big monster for that matter, but unlike others in the reviews I'm not bothered by Tuunbaq because I think she's an important part of re-enforcing the show's themes of colonialism and hubris) but I'm glad they added one because he's honestly one of the best parts of the show. Maybe one of my favourite villains in television. Justice for John Irving though, he may have been homophobic but he didn't deserve that.
