Where do I begin? This series is in a class by itself..Cinematography and music score from the opening credits to the episodes themselves is stunning and breathtaking to behold...Someone creating this has the heart of a poet and the eye of an artist..The dialogues are Intense, deep and soul stirring and the entire collection of actors here come across the screen as Absolutely giving their All to the performances...their heart and soul emote thru the scenes like no other production ive ever seen..its that intense...Some people have said its centered around eva green, and while Noone can do possession like eva, she is electrifying and terrifying to behold, id still say that ALL, each and every actor in this series has extraordinary screen presence and bring an incredible level of realism and feeling to their roles..This is gothic horror at its best...The dialogues between John clare and eva or dr frankenstein are heartwrenching and gut moving to hear...the beauty in the soul of "the monster", his aching lonlieness is palpable and makes you feel for him, despite the horrors he has committed. I am loving this series, as you can surely tell..its my 2nd time watching it,as i watched it 1st when it came out and now a few yrs later im even More impressed..The opening credits and score is so beautifully done, the timing of image to music and the choice of imagery, that i find myself Wanting to watch it and listen to it...Many other shows ,one skips thru the opening credits but Not this one!...This show is Art and poetry , beauty and horror told with great depth at levels that will move ur soul...Its a treat to the senses ...It is Gothic horror storytelling at its Very Finest!
