‘Bone Chilling’ Horror Series With ‘Best British TV Cast Of All Time’ Is Available To Watch For Free

Fans are raving about a 'bone chilling' horror series that is available to stream for free on ITVX - and terrifyingly, it's based on real events.

The eerie opening scene alone will make it hard to resist binge-watching the entire thing in one sitting...

With a stellar lineup of talented actors, one fan has declared it 'the best British TV cast of all time,' so we can only expect good things.

The show in question is The Terror, which ITVX recently added to the platform after its initial release in the US a few years ago.

Adapted from the novel by Dan Simmons, the first season reimagines the doomed 19th century Arctic expedition that became one of history’s greatest mysteries.

The cast is packed with familiar faces including Ciarán Hinds, Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies and Adam Nagaitis - an ensemble of top tier actors that you’ll be sure to recognise.

Critics and audiences alike showered The Terror with praise upon its release, with an impressive 7.9/10 rating on IMDb and a solid 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. As an anthology series, each season features a fresh cast and storyline, with the first season raking in an outstanding 94% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Since it became available for free on ITVX, the show has gained a loyal following of fans who can’t stop talking about its gripping plot and chilling atmosphere.

One IMDb reviewer rated the series a 9/10, writing: “The first season of The Terror is superb. I binge watched it over three nights and I regard it as essential viewing.”

Another viewer, who gave the show a perfect 10/10, called it 'bone-chilling.'

On Reddit, the series earned high praise from users on the r/Television subreddit, where one person described it as 'one of the best limited series of all time.' They added, ““I love horror TV, but this is so much more. I don't think most people realise how utterly enthralling a show about a few dozen rough, grungy looking men with bad dental hygiene, trapped in a bleak, colourless landscape for years can be.”

Another fan echoed this sentiment, commenting, “Agreed on all takes; Season 1 assembled the most impressive calibre of British acting in a series that I've ever seen."

One final reviewer summed it up perfectly, stating, “It is a masterpiece - up there with some of the best television ever made IMO. And I didn't even like the idea of the monster at first but in the end I understood its importance to the ultimate meaning of the story.”
