Have it taped but haven't really watched it. I'll watch Jared Harris in anything though so it's only a matter of time.
I will say that they have found quite a bit about the Franklin Expedition in the last 160 years. Canadian research teams found the wrecks of both the ships and there's lots of stories about what happened.

Haha I had no idea the ships were found. I have not learned more about since first reading 20+ years ago. When I started to watch the show I decided not to read too much into it again to try to avoid spoilers.

Was saying Boo-urns
I got the book out of the library and am about 200 pages in. It's a really unsettling story for a number of reasons, but primarily because it skips around in time and goes from characters being alive to characters being dead -- you know what's going to happen but they don't.

Yeah, the monster was a bit goofie, but Ciarán Hinds, Tobias Menzies and Jared Harris are some of the best actors in the biz. They all nailed it out of the park.
Also, lol at Tobias' Julius Caesar reference in the first episode.

I watched it and enjoyed it for what it was. I will say it becomes difficult to care about most of the crew as their names/ranks/looks just sort of wash over each other. Aside from the captains, the one doctor and the antagonist I couldn't say I would remember them from one scene to the next.

So there will be a Season 2.
from ca.ign.com:
AMC has renewed horror anthology series The Terror for Season 2, and plans to debut the 10-episode second season in 2019.
As anyone who watched Season 1 can probably deduce, the first iteration of The Terror (based on the novel of the same name by Dan Simmons) told a self-contained story about the doomed crews of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, two ships which disappeared while searching for the Northwest Passage in the 1800s. Season 2 of The Terror will tell a brand new story with a new cast and showrunner.
According to AMC, Season 2 of the anthology will be "set during World War II and center on an uncanny specter that menaces a Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific."
The Terror's second season is co-created and executive produced by Alexander Woo (True Blood) and Max Borenstein (Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla), with Woo serving as showrunner.
"The Terror has given us the opportunity to take a unique approach to the anthology format. We loved the concept of beginning with an actual historical event and overlaying it with a fictional horror element, and we are immensely proud of this show's combination of cinematic scope and intimate character work," said David Madden, president of original programming at AMC, SundanceTV and AMC Studios. "We are thrilled to announce a second season and dramatize one of the most chilling and important events of the 20th Century, guided by the vision of the gifted Alexander Woo and Max Borenstein. Our deep appreciation goes to the persistently creative and passionate showrunning team of David Kajganich and Soo Hugh, the incomparable Ridley Scott and the rest of the producing team, and the outstanding cast led by Jared Harris for launching this concept and leaving us on the precipice of terrifying new adventures as we continue with the next chapter of The Terror.”

So AMC is really greenlighting a new series and they should just state it as such. These two limited series have absolutely nothing to do with each other: different show runners, different actors, timeframe, subject, etc. Seems like a stupid stunt by AMC to build interest in whatever "season 2" is supposed to be on the back of The Terror. I think it's terribly misleading.

So without giving away any of the plot - how have the first 2 episodes been ???? I haven't watched anything yet because my GF started this stupid habit of recording a whole season of a show on our PVR and then watching it in one or two sittings once the season has concluded.

^^ This. ^^
I am sure the Artic is scary enough without a "monster". Not sure why they included such silliness.

The good thing is that AMC almost always re-airs all the previous episodes right before the finale for most of their series.
Not what I wanted to hear but I appreciate the feedback.
You got me there.
