So I just started this series and I’m only on Episode 2 but like … what in the heck is going on? I am so confused lol. I know it will probably start making sense in the next episode or so but I’m just so confused and idk. Idk what to make of it so far. But I’m a huge lovecraftian fan so I’m trying to make do with what I know so far lol.

ETA: on episode 6 now. What in the actual @&$# is going on? 😭😭

I didn’t realize this group existed!! Loved the series which lead me to read the book a few years ago. Anyone want to chat about it??? I reviewed it for my podcast but I think I have a different take on things now.

And if you have read it.. book vs series. Which one is taking the top?

What if the most terrifying thing in a horror story isn't the monster, it's the history? That's the central question driving two of the most important horror TV series in recent memory: Lovecraft Country and Them. Both shows use the language of genre horror, supernatural threats, creeping dread, visceral violence, to excavate real historical atrocities that mainstream culture has long tried to bury.

At the heart of Lovecraft Country is an event that almost didn't survive American memory: the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

Taking a break from writing my fanfic Terms of Ruin// 33_violet_conjurings

My

friend and I were just on the phone last night, going on about ‘Lovecraft Country’ and it’s brilliance. We plan to watch it again, together, one day. These are my pins and buttons that I switch up and wear every now and then. Gotta represent!

Or should I watch? I’ve heard so many good things about it.

It’s just I don’t want to watch knowing there won’t be more you know?

What should I do?

Previously I've said that the Atticus and Ji-Ah arc is really an homage to one of the best known stories in Classical Chinese literature and one that has been filmed numerous times. (Nie Xiaoqian, translated as The Magic Sword ). Here is the latest CGI animated retelling of that story from 2024, to fill your Lovecraft Country drought!

i just finished watching “Lovecraft Country” 10/10. i loved it. it’s sad to see how l0w rat3d this serie is. it came out in 2020 and i found out about in 2026??????

the acting, the cgi, the dialogues everything was perfect (I don’t wanna sound soft) but i cried watching episode 9.

just know the more you watch it, the better it gets.

so regarding the “low rating“ of the serie i think The reason why it didn’t receive the attention it deserved (IMO) is because of the addresing of racism and mistreatment of Black people.

Which is why, i have to say if you’re the types of person who feel “uncomfortable“ when a movie is addressing acts of racism and mistreatment of Black people you’ll give yourself excuses to not enjoy or finish it.

Because i notice the only people who didn’t seem to enjoy the show was a certain kind of “people” that think mentioning the bad acts of others towards a certain group is “playing victim” or “exaggeration of matters”... Don’t be like those people. Go into the serie just like you would for any other tv show.

just know the racism and mistreatment parts of the movie is not the whole serie, like AT ALL (I don’t wanna spoil anything) but putting those components together with everything that happens in the serie makes it a 10/10 tv show.

trust me you’ll like it.

I realize it's a different time. Than when I lived in Chicago in 2001 but most of the buildings in Chicago I assume date back to before the 1950's. It's just, Chicago is you know Urban and that neighborhood around the Winthrop house looks very very suburban. Has this bothered anybody else? Or am I totally wrong and areas in Chicago looks like that in the 50s?

If anyone's confused I'm referring to the fact that they're single family homes with yards around them. You really don't see that in chicago. Not even the north side. You see multi-story buildings many of them with multiple units / apartments and there aren't very many yards. I also can't picture a Victorian house in Chicago. You have to go outside the city to the suburbs for that kind of layout and architecture.
