The Frankenstein Chronicles

CriticsCritics: 73
AudienceAudience: 7.3

In 19th-century London, a determined inspector investigates a series of disturbing crimes involving bodies assembled from multiple victims. His search leads into a shadowy world where scientific ambition, morality, and the possibility of reanimating the dead collide.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like atmospheric historical mysteries, gothic horror, and morally uneasy science, especially in the vein of Penny Dreadful; Not for you if you need fast pacing or consistently sustained tension.
