They needed to spend A LOT of money on this to make it work, and I think they did. The actors are great, the costumes are excellent, the sets are mostly convincing and the pacing is just about right.
Although there are already some major differences to the novel, I think the changes were mostly due to the transference to a visual medium, so I am happy to forgive them.
I'm looking forward to the rest of this series.
Enter season 2. BORING !!!!!
Slow paced, mediocre acting, shallow cast. The story line is a little thin, the supernatural element tries to communicate intended suspense, but comes across very bland. Even the limited make up and special effects are poor.
By the time they add a tragic element to the supernatural element, it simply pours water on an ember that was barely smouldering anyway.
It may be a wonderful drama to some and some will harp on about the books.....
30 minutes into episode 8 of season 2 and i don't think I can be bothered anymore!
This is a very good ten episode limited series. When I first heard about this series, I feared the portrayal of the native population as the villains of the story. Historically, Lady Franklin with supporter Dickens had made the natives savages while disputing the report from explorer John Rae. It would have been tragic to continue that old colonial attitude. While this has some supernatural elements, the drama is the crew itself. There is a great villain and a very tense story. The outcome is not in doubt but the journey is fascinating. The isolated atmosphere is strangely haunting. There is harrowing action. There are great characters and more importantly, there are great actors. This is a good little surprise from AMC.
ADD: Apparently, its original success allowed the show to turn from a limited series to an anthology series. The second season has new showrunners and a ghost story about the WWII Japanese-American internment. I like the unique Japanese culture. I like the moment in time. It has a feel of a mixture of the J-horror and a modern slasher horror. It does meander a bit and the story would probably be much more compelling in a shorter span. It's a step down from the first season.
Having watched the entire season I feel a little cheated by the final episode. The atmospheric tension throughout the first 9 seemed to vanish as episode 10 progressed, in a race to get to the punchline with the little screen time they had left - and the rushed punchline became a total anticlimax. They strayed a little from the book, which happens, but, you can't help but think that with a little more time, and some better editing, the finale could have been so much better.

- WissenswertesHMS Erebus was discovered in 2014. HMS Terror was discovered, intact and in "incredibly good condition," in 2016 by Arctic Research Teams just before this show's premiere in March 2018. AMC's president responded publicly by stating " I congratulate the researchers find, however, apparently they never heard of a spoiler alert!"
- PatzerThe chess set shown when the Captains meet at the beginning of the series has Staunton model pieces. That particular model, which is ubiquitous nowadays, wasn't available until 1849, a few years after the events in the series.
