"Gothic dread dressed as a murder mystery"
Set in a fog-choked 1820s London, a world-weary river police officer discovers a child's corpse stitched together from other bodies, a killing that seems to echo Mary Shelley's just-published novel. The investigation pulls him into body-snatchers, radical anatomists, and religious zealots, while his own health and sanity quietly unravel. It's less procedural than slow-burn gothic nightmare: heavy atmosphere, grim visuals, and a mounting sense of dread carry it more than plot twists. Sean Bean's haunted lead performance anchors the mood. Patient viewers who like period bleakness over fast pacing will get the most out of it.
