The story of Franklin's lost expedition to the Canadian Arctic which took place using the two famous ships: Terror and Erebus.
Semi-historical, The Terror starts an anthology series, with the first season dedicated to a real historical tragedy, namely John Franklin's expedition through the ice, in an attempt to find a northern passage to India and China via the Canadian Arctic. The supernatural element is used here only as a pretext to put together an intense dramatization, with well-defined and fascinating (in lack of a less cliché word) characters, which keeps the viewer engaged throughout all the ten episodes, even in the presence of a tragically announced end, known already from the first few minutes. The Terror is a delight for horror fans, but even more so for lovers of drama and adventure, and psychological curiosities.
