Those who are fans of Taboo, Penny Dreadful, or Ripper Street are in luck, since this show received quite a few comparisons to those programs, although outside of the show’s style, the stories appear very dissimilar.
When speaking of the show’s high points, many pointed out the supporting cast being super strong in their performances and more than capable of holding their own alongside Sean Bean, and it was also noted that the show gives off a very chilling vibe.
As far as reviews are concerned, The Frankenstein Chronicles got some generally positive buzz, although many of those same critics panned it for being very similar to the other buzzed period dramas on television.
