While The Terror is certainly a horror series—and one that favors psychological horror over gore though there is plenty of gore—it is also an engrossing drama manned by an impeccable cast.
The proud Sir John is played by Ciarán Hinds, who Game of Thrones fans may remember best as Mance Rayder, the King-Beyond-The-Wall. Jared Harris—a brilliant actor known for his work in Chernobyl, Mad Men, Foundation, and more—is Sir John’s questioning second-in-command Captain Crozier. Between them is Tobias Menzies (The Crown), fiercely protective of Sir John and with nothing good to say about Crozier.
Standout performances from the “lower decks” of The Terror include Paul Ready (The Death of Stalin) as the astute and empathic assistant surgeon Harry Goodsir, Adam Nagaitis (The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon) as the seductive Cornelius Hickey, and Ian Hart (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone) as the indomitable sailing master Thomas Blanky.
While you will know the bloody attacks of the beast always seem like just a heartbeat away, not to mention the consequences of the crew’s slowly spreading madness, these spectacles aren’t what drives The Terror. It’s the relationships between these desperate men that will make you want to keep watching no matter how late it gets.
