The Frankenstein Chronicles: Season 1 (2015)

What started as an undercover operation to bust drug trafficking across the River Thames turns into something more gruesome when Inspector John Marlott (Sean Bean) finds a patched-up body on the riverbank. His discovery attracts the attention of renowned surgeon Sir William Chester (Samuel West) and Her Majesty's Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel (Tom Ward), who task him to solve the case as quickly and quietly as possible so it won't derail their political agenda. As Inspector Marlott delves more deeply into the mystery of the patchwork corpse, he finds that he may have uncovered a secret best left alone. The first season of "The Frankenstein Chronicles" also stars Ed Stoppard and Vanessa Kirby as the siblings Lord Daniel and Lady Jemima Harvey, Elliot Cowan as Sir Bentley Warburton, Robbie Gee as Billy Oates, Richie Campbell as Joseph Nightingale, Steven Berkoff as William Blake, and Anna Maxwell Martin as Mary Shelley.
