The Terror's cinematography is absolutely breathtaking.
So many shots have compositions that look like they could be paintings in a museum exhibit on 19th Century Realism. Obsessed with the purposeful use of blocking to portray the class divide and the mundane but backbreaking labor of sailing.
Also, I love how, as a historical drama, it leans heavily into the camera language of sci-fi and horror to create this otherworldly and ominous feeling without having to be so on the nose. It's all about the light and framing--everything is stark or slightly offkilter like the glacial landscape slowly killing the characters.
Only two episodes in and this show might beat out even Severance when it comes to my favorite visual storytelling of 2025.
Maybe if you stopped focusing on reality and started focusing on the sex lives of Victorian sailors dying of exposure and scurvy, you'd feel better.
she has that sadness in her eyes that you only see in alcoholic captains of doomed arctic expeditions
lovely character. i want to watch him drown in his shame
went to the obgyn today and got an ultrasound 🥰 welcome back HMS Erebus
ouuu crozier and silna were both burdened with authority/responsibility of command that they did not want and delayed the process as much as was possible but ultimately accepted that responsibility through an act of bodily sacrifice, resulting in self-destruction and shameful exile once the more-than-human burden proved too much for their extremely human capacities!
