The Frankenstein Chronicles continues into a second limited “season” of 6-episodes as John Marlott returns from the dead. After being reanimated, disgraced former Inspector John Marlott goes in search of his creator and stumbles upon a series of murders of local clergymen. The plot’s a little hard to follow at first, as there’s a time jump between seasons and most of the characters and plot threads from the last season are dropped – requiring some adjustment to the new characters and settings. Still, the story ends up being rather interesting and the writers do a good job at building the mystery and intrigue. And the performances are also pretty strong. Yet while The Frankenstein Chronicles delivers a fairly solid second season, it doesn’t seem to be fulfilling its potential.
