Viewing Notes
Wild retelling of The Modern Prometheus mythology where Frankenstein’s technology has been adopted to create armies of undead used for labor and soldiers during the 19th century.
Mostly enjoyed this. But don’t ask me what the hell is going on because I couldn’t say. The plot and eventual resolution is about the proof of having a soul and somehow being able to restore that soul into a reanimated being. I think but how they get this is a convoluted mess with multiple villains. Would’ve probably been better as a series.
