The Terror is set in 1847 when the crew of a Royal Naval expedition to find the Arctic’s treacherous Northwest Passage discovers instead a monstrous predator – a cunning and vicious Gothic horror that stalks the ships in a desperate game of survival, the consequences of which could endanger the region and its native people forever.

Ooh! Dan Simmons.

I haven't read the book, yet that synopsis sounds pretty cool.

2nd season is called The Terror: Infamy - takes place during WW2

Started the first season of this one. It has a strong sense of dread, of slow and creeping isolation that's accomplished by smart dialogue choices and smarter reliance on camerawork. The underwater sequence on the first episode was more harrowing than most action films watched this past year, and the leads have a good distinction in psychology even at this early mark.

Looking forward to getting to more of the season soon.
