 That article just made me a lot less excited about next season. They seem to be removing all the bits that made me really into season 1.

But there WAS no supernatural element to season 1. Just a bunch of crazy rich dudes fuckin' young chicks, and crazy poor dudes kidnapping more chicks to gently caress. I mean, just because I have a Shamanism book on my bookshelf doesn't mean I'm a wizard if I put on a feathered headdress.

Literally everything bad and scary was just the deprivations of humanity and people finding sick nasty symbolism to help make it more fun. Raping girls, this is getting kinda old...well, how about doin' it while you're wearing this kickin' rad stag head and having your buddies standing around in a circle?!

I guess you could try to argue Rust's hallucinations were supernatural, but...eh.

And nowhere in my post did I mention the supernatural. But what season 1 did have was elements of the occult with the ritualistic nature of the crimes as well as a gothic element that the article specifically states the are also getting rid of in this new season.
