What would happen if a stranger told you to claim your birthright? In its action and story-packed first episode, Lovecraft Country sets the tone: "this ain't your racist uncle's Lovecraft." We dive into our reactions to the mystery of Atticus's mother, the daylight monster of white supremacy, the fight/chase/terror scene that left us holding our breath, and more.
Things we forgot to mention (vs. things that got cut out when we tried to make our episode a manageable length):
- our rating: truly an unknoweable number of tentacles.
- the captions are truly wonderful, [gibbering] and [chittering] and [ominous music]
