Was that the spiral pattern on the one of the photos of Anna’s body?

It would be annoying if it turned out to be "Earth spirit, frozen in ice by the brave indigenous folx centuries ago but awakened by environmental destruction, takes revenge on capitalist settlers".


Or if it was a knockoff of The Terror.

I think the director already said its going to be a mystery based on reality but with supernatural touches and a very strong creepy vibe. The first was almost shot a as a horror movie, which tracks because she made one in the past.

First season had a lot of that, hell even in the finale they almost full five into that route, so its very cool they are doing it again.

I liked it; 1960s France is a great time for a period piece because I’ve only got like a basic knowledge of what was going on at the time, so there’s some nice color that I think will lead me to reading and researching other things.
