Is there a similar screen grab of the charms/totems? Because the one of the creature is what got me thinking of something other than a traditional bear or wolf. But maybe I saw it wrong, the guy was terrible at carving, or it's not supposed to be the creature at all.
If it's just a giant bear/wolf then the series is going to seem more like an artic rip-off of the Brotherhood of the Wolf.

My initial impression of the animal, so far, is some kind of Native American spirit creature. The tokens/charms. The animal seems to be protective of the girl, it brought her food. My first thought was the animal was spirit of her grandfather. Maybe he was a medicine man. There could be more than one.
The basic protective spirit creature of a tribe that takes out white men it see as a threat to the tribe.

Told a friend I'd wait and binge it. Because I'd be pissed if I watched it every week and the mysterious creature turned out to be a bear! lol

I enjoyed the book a lot, and was a little worried about how this would translate, but I'm really loving this show.
Really glad they cast an authentic looking woman for the eskimo. Was kinda surprised they didn't try and choose some super hot 20-something half-native girl. Just adds to the authentic nature of the show.
I will say while it was interesting to read about, watching a story about the navy where there's essentially no sailing, is really interesting twist.

Well, that was dark.
I was amused that AMC kept advertising the "season" finale. I was wondering if they were going to try and stretch this across multiple season, but that finale was definitely the end of this story. Maybe AMC is angling to turn it into an anthology series.

It very much had some human features. The ears, for one.
From an article about the design of Tuunbaq:

For Petzold, that is by design. "We wanted to make sure he looks human," he admitted. It's just human enough to put you at ease and make you feel sympathy for the creature before it strikes the killing blow.

If they turn this into an anthology, I'm not sure I'll be back for the next series/season.
The Terror was okay, but it's not something that I would have watched if it had been something like AHS.

It was strange how after moving so deliberately for 9.5 episodes things moved so quickly over the last 15 minutes. Then again I suppose everything after Crozier surviving the beast was basically epilogue.
It was interesting how the beast was just a part of the story like the weather. Typically the presence of a demonic monster would be the main plot point of any story. Not so here.

Well, the anthology angle is odd to me, because the title "The Terror" is specifically from the book this season was based on, and that title is based on the fact that one of the actual boats was named The Terror. What would the next season be called? "The Terror: Donner Party" for example? What's the theme of the series, supernatural survival horror based on actual events?
I'd be more interested if AMC and other networks just produced more limited series of things that are interesting, instead of trying to extend every show into an "anthology series."

This was renewed for a second season, set during WWII: https://deadline.com/2018/06/the-ter...mc-1202415649/
It appears entirely unrelated to the first season, with different show runners and different creative staff.

I making my way through this on Hulu. I'm LOVING it. But Im a sucker Period British Navy stuff/drama so that's a huge factor in my enjoyment. But I 'm also interested in the Mystical Angle as I'm not too familiar with Inuit Mysticism.

Was actually thinking I'd be done with this show, but that trailer has me sold. I'll be watching season 2 for sure. =)

I'm avoiding trailers/spoilers hoping to go into this next season with no preconceptions. I really ended up liking the first season in a way I did not expect and want to try and go into this one with a completely open mind.

Are people waiting to binge season two? I just watched the first episode and found it to be pretty meh. Not sure I want to continue (loved the first season but this is obviously a totally different story and feel).
