* MenacingStroll: James Keziah Delaney (or perhaps Tom Hardy, if you interpret this stride as the actor's stride) has a ''very'' distinct walk and somehow, Tom Hardy makes it look effortless. Delaney ''feels'' like a big man and if you look closely, anyone who sees him approach from afar often looks unsettled by it.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: There's a level of mysticism in the series that's kept fairly low key, but some things stand out. James knows quite a bit about his father and his mother that, according to Brace, he should have no way of knowing. He claims to have heard his father calling out his confessions on the river bank from across the sea, and that he would answer back. Then there's his visions/hallucinations; first of the [[spoiler:drowned slaves]] in episode one, the hunt in the forest in episodes three and seven, and his mother [[spoiler:drowning him as a baby]] in episode six. He also visits his sister Zilpha in her dreams, which may either be supernatural in nature or the result of Zilpha succumbing to James' mind games.

WordOfGod says that all this is to get across a deep spiritual quality that was very present even in post-"Enlightenment" European cultures.

* BestialityIsDepraved: James is frequently compared to an animal and called a savage. When Zilpha starts to have very vivid erotic dreams about her brother, he claims that he is using his mixture of American and African native magic to reach out for her. Zilpha asks if he is doing this in the form of an animal because she heard the same from a priest who visited an Africa mission, which James confirms.
