As spooky season arrives, the temperature starts to dip. There may be a chill in the air, but it's nothing compared to the conditions faced by the characters in the first season of AMC series “The Terror,” which is available to stream on Netflix.
The 2018 series is based on Dan Simmons’ 2007 novel, a meticulously researched blend of horror and history, inspired by the real-life lost expedition to the Arctic led by Captain John Franklin in 1845. I was enthralled by Simmons’ novel when I read it, but I was also skeptical that anyone could translate the dense behemoth of a book into a worthy TV series.
