I'm enjoying the show but I struggle to see how it's appealing to anyone who hasn't read the books, I don't see any 'casuals' buying into this whole trippy nonsense for more than a season, particularly as this first one is going to end with a big 'wtf was that and why is it important?' moment.

Steve Yun posted:The message I got from watching it as a newcomer to the material was that once the people were out of danger (they had food and defeated their enemies), they gave up on religion. Yes, that's pretty much it. America is a bad place for gods and traditions. In the book the chapter ends with the descendants of the original tribe, having long forgotten their relation to the tribe and the mammoth god, murdering everybody and destroying the altar.

I thought Shadow's wintry adventures we're easily the best part of the book.
