SERIES PREMIERE: It’s a premiere in the U.S., anyway. In the U.K., this period series, inspired by the classic Frankenstein tale, premiered in 2015, and presented two six-episode seasons – both of which are available, beginning today, on Netflix. Sean Bean, who played Ned Stark in HBO’s Game of Thrones, stars as John Marlott, an inspector in 19th-century London who investigates a case of children’s bodies found floating in the river, minus various body parts.
