The Essex Serpent
Love is the greatest mystery.
On Apple TV
A gothic Victorian miniseries that weaves scientific inquiry, romantic tension, and mythic dread into a melancholic meditation on grief, belief, and the bonds that form between unlikely people.
London widow Cora Seaborne moves to Essex to investigate reports of a mythical serpent. She forms a surprising bond of science and skepticism with the local vicar—but when tragedy strikes, locals accuse her of attracting the creature.
