Fan-favorite series The Terror has launched on Netflix in the US. Viewers have called it “absolutely brilliant.”
“I just finished The Terror on Netflix and loved it. Highly recommended if you like high seas dramas, There Will Be Blood type villains, icebergs and creepy stuff,” one user wrote.
‘THE TERROR’ on Netflix is the ultimate expression of men’s television. Old wooden boats. Not historical fiction. A scary monster that doesn’t ‘represent society’. Big name actors, including Tobias Menzies, who plays a real hero.
“That’s a great product from AMC. That disgusting low-prestige variety of television,” posted one user on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“I watched The Terror on Netflix and damn I still love it. Great British period drama series. Looking forward to more Arctic expedition stuff!” commented another.
“If you haven’t seen The Terror on Netflix, you should. It’s kind of a slow-paced supernatural horror/thriller. They only have the first season, because it’s not a Netflix show, but the second season is unrelated and even better,” another added.
“Absolutely brilliant. Don’t watch this if you’re not in the mood to be scared,” another fan advised.
The first season of this captivating series is loosely based on the true story of two British explorations that set out by ship in 1845, only to disappear three years later in the Arctic and were never seen again—although wreckage from the ships was found in 2014 and 2016, and historians are unsure what happened to the ships’ inhabitants.
Follows the fictional voyages of the Royal Navy’s polar explorer ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror as they attempt to navigate the Northwest Passage.
