A London inspector investigates crimes in the 19th century, crimes that have similarities to elements of Victor Frankenstein's story.
An interesting concept where Mary Shelley's book and the circumstances of its production are real but interwoven with fictional details and they help create a whole new fresh story managing to avoid it becoming ridiculous in any measure. The series has an intense first season, quite realistic in the style of the crime and investigations genre which is then followed by a tad weaker second season, mainly because of its slight obsession for melodramatic, however it still remains interesting to watch. The period is very well portrayed, with all the horrors of the time and Sean Bean is credible in the skin of the unfortunate inspector.
