My sweetie-wife and I have started watching a new Netflix series The Frankenstein Chronicles. Set in London 1827 the show is about a detective, John Marlott, played by Sean Bean we’ll see how long he lives in this show, as he investigates a series of bizarre strange occurrences. Given the title it is no spoiler or surprise that the inciting incident is when working a river smuggling case Marlott discovers a corpse of a small child that is actually composed of several different children. So far the trail has lead him to noted poet William Blake and author Mary Shelly. We are only a couple of episodes into the series but I am already impressed with the level of historical accuracy, a pleasant change from Penny Dreadful. It is always a pleasant turn when I investigate something in a historical piece that I think the authors may have gotten wrong and instead I come away with new knowledge.
