** Also, in this series, [[spoiler: the monster's identity is none other than her cameraman, Robert Walton. In the book, Robert ''is'' Victor's chronicler, but obviously not also the monster; the two in fact come face to face at the end, after Victor's death.]]

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Victoria, when [[spoiler: Robert dies. She does not take his death well at all, and begins thinking of crazy ideas of how he could've been saved that include cyrogenics, skin graft, intense surgery and replacement bones. She actually wants to use his body to experiment on, something Waldman firmly rejects. Surprisingly, both Iggy and Waldman sucumb to this trope they relish the thought of studying the recently revived Robert, while Victoria wants him dead.]]

** Dr. Waldman has a mysterious assistant named Fritz, which was actually the name of the assistant in the 1931 film ("Igor" comes from Bela Lugosi's character in the sequel ''Son of Frankenstein'', and was transplanted to the assistant character by ''YoungFrankenstein'').

* AdaptationDistillation: The series hits all the beats of the original story, but takes cues from movie versions, too, and changes certain plot points entirely. It's a fairly good adaptation of the story, but it's definitely its own animal.



* InsufferableGenius: Victoria's ''very'' confident in her own intelligence, often to the point of being cocky or condescending to others. The events of the series knock her down ''several'' pegs.
