There were no jump scares and little gore. Yet the dread was at moments suffocating and bolstered by strong performances from Ciarán Hinds as the doomed Franklin and Jared Harris as his cautious yet ineffective second-in-command, Captain Francis Crozier.

The season only sputters in the second half; it doesn’t go off the rails. By then, it’s set up a number of storylines with great potential, which all converge to do more than entertain.

The Terror is a gripping descent into a deviant heart of darkness, and those with a fondness for true-life enigmas embellished with midnight-movie flourishes will take to its unsettling comingling of the factual and fantastical. Better still, it places a premium not on grisliness but, rather, on the twisted passions and motivations of its fallible protagonists, here embodied by the commanding Hinds and the nuanced Harris.
