I'm an episode in to The Terror, which seems rather well put together - it's about an attempt make the north west passage in the 1800s at some point. I think it's based on a Dan Simmons novel which I haven't read - I loved his Hyperion/Endymion books though so I have high hopes for this. It's already brilliantly creepy and desolate.
Last summer I was at a pub called The Good Mixer in Camden at roughly 3am, making new friends in the smoking area because all my friends from earlier in the evening had gone home. One of my new friends said he was an actor, and I asked him if he'd been in anything I might have seen. He said "Maybe The Terror?" but I confessed I'd not heard of it.
Anyway, he gave me the premise so I "ordered" it and then watched it a few weeks later.

really liked it, and if you think it's desolate now OMMFG keep watching. The guy I met plays Hickey.
Series 2 has just started - I've not watched it yet but it's about something different - S01 is a self-contained story.
