      • Jul 29, 2023
        One of the most interesting shows ever created. Absolutely fascinating.
      • Jun 25, 2023
        The Terror ist eine Drama- und Horror Serie, die den Schrecken echter historischer Ereignisse mit fiktiven Horrorelementen verbindet… die auf Dan Simmons' Roman Terror basiert… Im Jahr 1848 werden zwei Kriegsschiffe, die HMS Terror und HMS Erebus auf eine Royal Naval Expedition geschickt, um die Nordwestpassage zu finden… Eine tolle Geschichte, angesiedelt in der unheimlichen Eiswüste der Arktis, mit erstklassigen Schauspielern besetzt die ihre Charaktere voll ausspielen können... Einfach perfekt in Wort und Bild…
      • Jun 24, 2023
        A well acted drama/thriller that puts a fictional spin on a true story. While there are elements of the supernatural, this series is driven by how far the human mind & spirit can be pushed in desperate situations.

        Only Season 1, the other sucks
      • Nov 18, 2022
        best horror show ever please season 3
      • Nov 06, 2022
        Season 1 of this series is undoubtedly the most underrated television show of the past decade. The cinematography, writing, directing, acting, casting and sound design are all top notch. Stand outs go to they eerie atmospheric sound design though. Experience this show with headphones, its glorious. 5/5
      • Oct 22, 2022
        The Terror S1 is one of the best TV shows of all time, a season that is chilling from start to finish. *****
      • Oct 17, 2022
        It should have been a movie. The show puts a lot of emphasis on the dialogues, forcing all characters to have at least one (perfectly written) monologue about the proximity of insanity, how hard life can get, and how dark our past can be. I was all board with that, especially with this talented cast and the setting that promised something fresh and unnerving (a period horror where a ship gets stuck in the ice and has to deal with the slow fall in the insanity of the crew and a soul-eating monster) but the Terror never reached its own title yes the story was well-done and some shot was visually creative and frightening but everything was separated by long moments of people talking with a serious tone. Nothing was particularly scary and the insanity promising was just slightly present in the very last episode. Also, the episodes mostly ended in the most unremarkable way which let me think that once again it should have been a movie, it would have been a great period horror.

        BINGE THIS SHOW! An excellent program, which I can't believe I missed for nearly three years. It's impeccably written, filmed, and acted. You won't ever forget watching nor will you regret it.
      • Aug 30, 2022
        Absolute masterpiece. Incredible performances, dense and eerie atmosphere and packed with historical details in it's depiction of the Franklin-Expedition, this season is just masterfully done. I've seen several reviews critizising the supernatural aspects of this season and though I understand why it might irritate some people, I found it added to the omnipresent dread and icy isolation of the characters and made for one or two incredibly tense sequences, even if I think they could've showed the tuunbaqs design a bit later than they did. Still, not many tv-shows manage to be scary, mercilessly brutal, hopeful and beautiful all at the same time but this season pulls it off and thats something worthy of praise.
