Dear Visitors, This has to be one of the best series I've seen in a while. Thank you, AMC! This show s based off of a book that was based off of true events...if that makes sense. The Franklin Expedition is a real historical event where two ships were sent out to discover a new route through the Arctic. The ships and their crew were never seen again. So what happened to them? In Dan Simmons wrote a historical fiction book about the event with a supernatural twist. I haven't read the book yet but it's my list and now that the semester is FINALLY over, I can enjoy myself! Back to the show, what makes it so scary and intense is the vastness of the unknown. They're in the middle of nowhere with supplies running low, no way to contact help, their ships stuck in the ice, scurvy, paranoia, and some mysterious monster slowly hunting them down one by one. That acting, of course, is lead by Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies, and Ciaran Hinds and this cast makes the show...
