Anyone following this? I can't find a thread on it.
I'm into episode 5 now, and it does give Lovecraft vibe pretty damn well. Probably the best Lovecraft TV show I've seen, close to movies like The Color Out of Space.
It can get a bit offending as it's very, very anti-white (black cast, black directors, etc) and since Lovecraft was very racist apparently.
White on black racism is everywhere. It's apparent, it sometimes is bothersome. If it's historically accurate or not I don't know. I never lived in that time period or in the US where slavery was so predominant.
But, the TV show is called "The Lovecraft Country", so I guess the world is built on how it would look if Lovecraft imagined it. Tons of racism towards black people.
I rate it 7/10 (9/10 for the episode 1, it got a bit worse afterward).
