Godless

On Netflix, insane child survivor of Mountain Meadows. Timeline is skewed. Interesting though. Thoughts?

Antagonist I should add.

Interesting conjecture of what that kind of experience would do to a child who was a survivor.

The producers were kind to not actually say the name of the church or BY directly in the show but it was obvious to anyone who has a spark of knowledge of the matter.

godless is a fitting title.

They're very clear that Frank "psycho antagonist" was raised by mormons and he's a big fan of blood atonement.

He talks about being raised by an abusive Isaac Haight as his father, and they also talk about his belief of Missouri being the location of the Garden of Eden. Reminds me of Hell on Wheels.

Yes, and I found the Bee imagery/symbolism quite curious.

We made it through the first episode. It looks promising but was such a slow starter.
