Max Borenstein and Alexander Woo's Japanese internment camp-set ghost story is a solid and spooky follow-up to AMC's 'The Terror.'
didn't seem like an instantly logical seedling for an anthology series. Based on a close-ended novel by Dan Simmons, AMC's adaptation was also thoroughly close-ended. Heck, the very title was close-ended, referring figuratively to the show's mystical, marauding ice-bound menace, but literally to the HMS Terror, an ill-named Arctic exploratory vessel., which should have been an Emmy player in technical categories and for star Jared Harris at the very least, and AMC's new.
Credit casting directors Carrie Audino and Laura Schiff with building up a deep ensemble populated mostly with actors of Japanese descent. Mio is giving a performance of show-anchoring stability — he may not be as complex and tormented as Jared Harris at the center of the first season, but it's the sort of instantly relatable "everyman" part that immediately takes on a progressive quality because it's a Japanese American character.
