The frankenstein chronicles review series#
So often you come across a series that tries hard to do a remake of a famous story and fails in an epic way, so it is refreshing to watch this as it has brought the story to life again and in a historically inspired way. Great cast, loving Sean Bean in this! Apparently filmed in Northern Ireland the scenery is fantastic.Ĭleverly written, with the traditional Frankenstein story woven with historic nineteenth century London, makes you feel it could be true! I'm a sucker for a period drama so this ticks that box for me too. Absolutely brilliantly directed! A Must watch series. Hopefully we see more, since whilst I do appreciate shows that keep it short and direct, instead of like others dragging on longer than they should you know who you are! Not to miss. In this respect it was a great surprise, and like others have mentioned, with so many shows coming out now based on established materials this was very refreshing. I only watched since Sean Bean was in it, thank goodness I did! Whilst its pretty slow initially, after 2 episodes when it all starts coming together the show stands out as a very creative one, with what I certainly felt was a completely original story based around the Frankenstein lore. Felt this was let down by the marketing and fairly bland trailers. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. You will see that it is anything but an interpretation of the novel, Frankenstein. If you start watching it, watch it to the end. The premise is undeniably very dark, and ingrained in the times, but there are underlying themes that are quite relevant to the world of today-it is a mirror for certain scientific dilemmas of The protagonist played by Sean Bean is a good man but a tortured soul, with high potential for being of unreliable perspective his character might be experiencing dementia. Secondly, it is well-executed, well built-up, gut wrenching horror. As a nice early surprise, the novel itself does exists in this tale, which adds further realism to the whole affair. This story takes place about 10 years after that novel was published, which was my first clue that this was going to be something completely different. First of all, people need to stop saying this is an interpretation of the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. The Frankenstein Chronicles - User Reviews Spoilers Hide Spoilers.
