The attention to period detail and the quality of the acting was well above standard. I dare to say that Sean Bean carried this series. As previously stated the plot was underwhelming and stretched. It could have been covered in a movie easily. I was also dissapointed with the ending. It was way to contrived and left me dissatisfied.
I am glad to have watched it though for the atmosphere coming from sets, clothing and that visible breath was inspiring.
Generally good/great in setting, props, acting, filming. Underwhelming in story and use of source material.
Feels like the whole buildup of 5 episodes was for the last sixth episode alone.
But the resolve to this show was, again, underwhelming.
If someone would ask what I take away from this after watching it, what's most memorable, I'd perhaps say the periodical time was nicely re-created, you could even see the breath of the actors in the "diner". Says much about the impact the actual story leaves, doesn't it?
Season one, great! Loved the atmosphere, acting was good (always like to see Sean Bean) was excited for season 2, but was terribly disappointed. Shame.
It's worth a 2-night binge. Once again, an interesting take on the Frankenstein story. I definitely liked season 1 more than season 2. I might even recommend for you to just watch season 1 and skip season 2. Also, season 2 just kind of ended on a whimper.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Hugely disappointed there won’t be a 3rd season. Love Sean Bean, and really loved the show too.
:(
Should've stopped at 1st season.

At one season this would be been a worthy watch relative to the time investment. The second season was bad beyond explanation.
