Two episodes in, and I have to say that The Terror is great at showing stir-crazy. It's a hard thing to get right. The Terror is about three British ships going into the Arctic for some strange reason.
It tells the story of Victorian England's understanding of the unknown to a great effect. It assumes that the audience understands that they are watching a horror movie. It plays up mundane acts into horrifying events. It makes great work of the "slow burn" trope.
Nothing shocks anymore. So, what do they show? Nothing.
At least the dragons are seen.
