The Terror has finally reached its conclusion tonight, and once again AMC has outdone themselves with this 10 episode series. Even this far in, we were still shown to the brutality, risks, sacrifices, and strong emotions among all of the remaining crew of the late Captain Sir John Franklin's expedition into the arctic.

Captain Francis Crozier is still struggling to lead his men to safety after having lost another one of his men over a brief refusal to cooperate from Cornelius Hickey's group. With him even among the group of Cornelius, he still doesn't lose hope in returning to his men.

Now in the presence of the mysterious Inuit monster once more, as well the men who have begun to fall sick over Dr. Henry Goodsir's personal tainted meat, most of Cornelius' group, including himself begin to fall prey to the monster. Even when they are able to defeat the monster once and for all, the remaining few men, now unable to even move, have nowhere else to go.

Meanwhile Lady Silence, whose real name is now found out to be Silna, finds the injured Francis Crozier and ends up treating him for a while until he is able to walk again. Later he finds his remaining crew still within the arctic, but was only able to make it just in time to see his last surviving man covered in jewelry freeze to death on his shoulder.

The effects in this show from glaciers, to snowy and rocky mountains, to frozen oceans were miraculous to gaze upon all throughout the series and especially this finale. Not only did it get the viewer to understand the atmosphere these men were surrounded by, but also the men themselves and the struggles they all had to go through throughout these 3 years of being stuck within the arctic.

The acting was also one of the biggest highlights of this series and episode. All of cast were mesmerizing to watch with their performances for their characters both main and supporting. As each episode went on, we could begin to see the slow pace of despair, corruption, emotion, and/or desperation occur among these men.

The story of these men were also amazing to see, as even the slightest notes of decisions among these men ended up leading the story to great depths of hope and despair. An atmosphere such as this series would inevitably bring in some interesting conflicts and resolutions whether it was leadership, trust, food, lies, deaths or choices, and this series pulled them off perfectly.

Overall, a brilliant conclusion to the end of another great AMC series about the terror itself of survival, human instinct and fear. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who is not only interested in the certain historic elements of Captain Sir John Franklin's lost expedition, but also viewing the elements of horror, drama and tragedy through a whole other perspective for this series.
