It does have it's moments. Lollie, I totally loved that shot too. For me the most interesting aspect of it is the race relations and I find the horror aspect to be exceedingly generic (with a small handful of good to great scenes). Nothing we haven't all seen before and the directing is simply average. Some of the dialogue is poor. As to Lovecraft himself, yes he was a racist. So were lots of people back then and so are lots of people now. But a discussion along those lines is not relevant to this TV show. I read all of Lovecraft's work in the early 90's and in fact I just checked and I still have all the books! The fact I haven't been tempted to re-read them in all these years is testament to how I feel about them. I enjoyed them at the time, I might be tempted to pick one up and check out a short story or two one day. I don't recall much about them but two things I do remember are The Rats In The Walls and At The Mountains Of Madness. Anyway as far as I can tell this show bears little resemblance to anything Lovecraft actually wrote. And that's fine by me. I don't care about it at all. Just that most of the horror parts are sooooo bland it feels pointless. Oh and I don't like the integration of modern music into it, it's jarring. One scene you've got someone singing or people listening to music of the era and the next you've got some pop hip hop (or whatever) track playing. It don't work for me. I've seen other shows and films where music is used from a more modern era than the setting and it's worked (the only example I can think of off the top of my head is Britannia) but it just doesn't in this show. ATM I'd give it a 2/5 but I'll wait to see if I watch it all before giving a final score. Edit to add one exception to the music, loved the use of Whitey on the Moon and as that was from 1970 it's out of era but that worked for me. I don't watch trailers. I never have and I never will.
I don't like Tom Cruise, James Cameron and there's lots more to add, give me time I don't like Star Wars or Star Trek or any superhero *hit Re: Lovecraft Country [Drama, Fantasy, Horror]vapdne wrote:

I'm not sure at all and I don't care!

Classic song! Re: Lovecraft Country [Drama, Fantasy, Horror]I am amazed at how well this show has done since ep 3! Since then I've gone from 2/5 to a solid 4/5. The stranger it gets, the more interesting it gets! Very glad I kept watching. I don't watch trailers. I never have and I never will.

I think I didn't make myself clear enough. No matter. I just meant that discussions on whether to use Lovecraft's name in the title was not something that should be discussed on a TV forum. Yes it needs to happen (what we do with our racist ancestors) but just not here. I believe. I don't watch trailers. I never have and I never will.
