The successful resurrection of "The Creature" doesn't happen (solely) through electricity in this series. During a stay at Lake Geneva in Switzerland from May to September 1816 (during which she laid the foundations for what would become Frankenstein, or: The Modern Prometheus, published in 1818), Mary Shelley described ideas of galvanism and the re-animation of corpses. Unlike virtually all later film adaptations, however, the original novel never precisely describes the use of electricity to successfully re-animate a body. In fact, in Frankenstein (1910), the very first silent film adaptation of the novel, the creature emerges from a bubbling cauldron in what appears to be alchemy rather than actual modern science. In this series, the exact circumstances of the first truly successful resurrection are also kept vague, except the use of a "tincture" and "tissue" is mentioned.

Nothing you will expect

First of all, people need to stop saying this is an interpretation of the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. It is anything but that. This story takes place about 10 years after that novel was published, which was my first clue that this was going to be something completely different. As a nice early surprise, the novel itself does exists in this tale, which adds further realism to the whole affair. What this tale is though, is two things. First, it's a superb detective mystery. Secondly, it is well-executed, well built-up, gut wrenching horror.

The premise is undeniably very dark, and ingrained in the times, but there are underlying themes that are quite relevant to the world of today--it is a mirror for certain scientific dilemmas of 2015. The protagonist (played by Sean Bean) is a good man but a tortured soul, with high potential for being of unreliable perspective (his character might be experiencing dementia). So that alone will keep you guessing. If you start watching it, watch it to the end. You will see that it is anything but an interpretation of the novel, Frankenstein.
