I can’t believe I’ve never seen this show before! Lovecraft Country. Is. BRILLIANT!
I’ve not read a single story by HP Lovecraft, but I have looked into him and his works enough to know that dropping his world right into the middle of Jim Crow USA was a brilliant idea. The storytelling is wonderful, it’s horrific on multiple fronts, atmospheric at the right times, and complemented by superb acting from Jonathan Majors and Jurnee Smollet.
I just finished episode 3, but I was hooked right away from episode 1. Such a shame it was cancelled even though a second season was ordered - though my understanding is the first season wraps up the story as it was told in the book?
