In the book, Shadow's ethnicity was undefined and he was described as olive-skinned. Making him a black man makes all the gallows and noose symbolism much more threatening and meaningful. The white supremacists in prison with their jump rope noose really added to the sense of doom and foreboding. Technical Boy's goons actually lynching him was some hosed up poo poo. I am interested to see where this goes. Also, the book was more sympathetic towards Bilquis by making her victim an unlikable shithead, but in the TV show, he's a hapless old man getting back into the dating scene. I felt this change made her seem much more of a predator.

Some subtext I thought was really great was when Technical Boy's children beat and lynch a black man because it symbolizes how loving racist the faceless assholes on the Internet have become. Also, their outfits seemed heavily inspired by A Clockwork Orange. The children of the digital age are anonymous racist sociopaths. Checks out.

There's a forums user with the handle "I would blow Dane Cook." I did not know Laura Moon posted on these forums.

Considering what Ash vs Evil Dead got away with, they should have done a full Cronenberg body horror version. What we got was their attempt at being "tasteful."
