Bizzzle Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Thought Lovecraft County was pretty dull until the last half hour or so. Probably give it a few more episodes before I decide give in with it or carry on watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the Carpenter/Clive Barker inspired low budget horror flick The Void that has a very Lovecraftian vibe to it. It doesn't have a high rating on IMDB but it's very much my type of thing. As for Lovecraft Country, if you watched HBO's Watchmen series last year this will be a very familiar experience. I’m sold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual shows are not really too similar, but in tone they look and feel the same on the surface and it's frankly all a bit too familiar. I have a bad feeling about this show tbh but early days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Still not sure on Lovecraft Country. The acting is fine but the pacing is all over the place and the cutting is not great. All feels a bit rushed. Not read the novel but apparently it's only about 400 pages long and considering it already feels rushed it will be interesting to see how they squeezed 10 episodes out of it and I'm guessing a season 2. It doesn't feel or look like a flagship HBO series made by Jordan Peele, although you can certainly see that it's made by Jordan Peele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched ep1, thought it was all over the place, very average, was going to quit and then found the last 20 entertaining and fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ep 1 was a fair bit better than ep 2 sadly. But I guess it can always get better again. It should be better considering the people involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choffer Posted August 25, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2020 Did I miss the chat about The Plot Against America" or has it not been mentioned? Only 6 episodes, it's very on the nose and clearly more about Trump than the story it is telling (an adaptation of the Philip Roth book). Very much left me wanting more but I'm hoping for another series at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show is piggy backing on Lovecraft, as theres nothing Gothic or Macabre about it!. It doesn't feel like its going to get anywhere near as good as Watchmen, which I loved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 This looks frankly a bit unsettling, Brendan Gleeson nailing (giggity) his Trump impersonation. Not read the book it's based on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
