Hehe, I was thinking, "Everyone would probably like this, except maybe Bob wouldn't..." But really, give it a shot, if you don't like it you can turn it off. Nothing lost but 45 minutes. |

I don't get shipping, I subscribe to videos only. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | The Frankenstein Chronicles, builds kind of slow, but a fairly big finish. I would call it "intellectual horror" genre. The show is lovingly put together with a vivid images of 1827 London. The true historical bits are very accurate and "The Anatomy Act" was a big political issue of the day. Mary Shelley was age 16 when she began her romance with Shelley, who was already married. They married in late 1816, after the suicide of Percy Shelley's first wife, Harriet. May started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition of the novel was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared on the second edition, published in France in 1823. Percy Shelley drowned in 1822. |

Read the reviews, too dark and slow and macabre for my taste. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
