MANY things but the most offensive of all can be summed up by this bit of trivia from david kajganich’s imdb page
so the next time you ask yourself why the terror had zero (0) major awards nominations when all the critics lauded it to high heavens and predicted it as an emmy forerunner, remember that amc gave it almost zero (0) marketing support, which is reflected not just in its lack of awards but also in its obscurity. with a weak marketing push (barely a media blitz) and a weird distribution strategy (it wasn’t aired in ireland until this month!), you don’t have to wonder why so few people know about it.
