The second season is complemented by a variety of events as the peripheral islanders adapt to their new surroundings during which time. On the other hand, Chester tries to support his family, but he will face a real danger when he confronts the evil that follows, Henry faces a real shock because of his imprisonment, Asako sees the consequences of his dire actions, and Amy occupies a new job during that period.
The Terror: Infamy not only lives up to the historical-horror fusion of The Terror, but it does a better job of fitting mythological elements into the wider story.
Somewhat less intense experience than what I've seen of the first season with Jared Harris, but the franchise as a whole is proving a potent combination of what scares us in our imaginations and what should scare us in the world outside our windows.
Alexander Woo and Max Borenstein's new iteration of the Terror series, both thanks to its subject matter and supernatural apparitions lurking at the edges, is permeated by an ever-creeping sense of dread that proves undeniable.
Infamy movingly portrays how Executive Order 9066 turned whole American communities (including that of Infamy star - and series consultant - George Takei and his family in the '40s) into wartime casualties. Paranoia shrouds every interaction.
It has potential as a historical drama, illustrating a shameful period in American history with disturbing modern implications. It's too bad that annoying demon keeps getting in the way.
Infamy is most successful when it's exploring the ways in which these notions of "new" and "old"-birth country versus adopted home, nativists (or nationalists) versus immigrants, keeping cultural heritage alive versus assimilating-clash and overlap.
The well-balanced mix of family melodrama, ghost story, and politically astute historical commentary makes for captivating viewing, as does the high production quality and great character work
