The Frankenstein Chronicles
Created by Benjamin Ross
On ITV Encore
A dark, cerebral period crime drama that treats reanimation as both scientific transgression and gothic horror, grounded in 19th-century London's grimy streets.
Inspector John Marlott investigates a series of crimes in 19th century London, which may have been committed by a scientist intent on re-animating the dead.
