Anyone been watching this? Im about 4 episodes in and really liking it. Well shot, good acting, cool setting (a bit CGI-ish in places though).
Not sure its quite horror as described - more supernatural I think. Its a slowish burner but worth a dip.

I loved the book and I've watched the show twice.

So well made and acted. Wish it was longer though, to explain a few things a bit more.

It is indeed a slow burn horror though. The scene where the man who died in the water the day previous and was slowly drifting towards the repair diver was haunting.

**Easy E**

I was hoping this was about the old Jack Nicholson vehicle made in about a day and half in-between shooting another movie by famous B-movie director Roger Corman.

However, despite my disappointment I might check this out....

Finished it last night.
Very enjoyable overall. I maintain its not a horror though, I'd describe it as a dark suspense survival story.
Some brilliant scenes throughout such as the burning camp, the trial in the fog and the doctors last scene.
Definitely well worth a watch!

Nels you want to explain Hickeys motivations for me?

Spoiler:

did he believe in the end that he could become the new Shaman for Tunnbaq and that he had no intention of saving any of his party?

Season 2 sounds fun. Completely original story, not being tied to a novel like this season:

Moving from the mid-1800s, the second season will be set during World War II and will follow an uncanny spectre that menaces a Japanese-American community from its home in Southern California to the internment camps to the war in the Pacific.

It has been co-created by Alexander Woo and Max Borenstein, with the duo also executive producing alongside Ridley Scott. Given that it's not based on a book like the first season, we can't yet make any educated guesses as to what the story will be about until more details land.
