I only watched the first season of this anthology show, as the plot of the second didn’t grab me. I have read a lot and watched documentaries about polar exploration. I see how this show came about: the author took the skeleton story of John Franklin’s ill fated expedition of the northwest passage, and repurposed it as an original horror story. Cool, I was on board. And this televised version did a credible job moving the tale to the screen. It is a passable horror story. And then I see near the byline: Based on actual events, or something like that, and I am thinking, why bother with that?...
