What if you took H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror mythology and gave it to the people his racism would have excluded from his stories? That is Lovecraft Country – Misha Green’s extraordinary 2020 HBO series that follows Atticus Freeman and his family across 1950s Jim Crow America where the sundown towns and white supremacist secret societies are just as terrifying as any tentacled monster. Karen, Tea and our ghouly guest Jake dive deep into all ten episodes – the performances, the anthology horror structure, the visual ambition, the cancellation that still stings, and what the show was saying about America, Blackness, horror, and who gets to be the hero in the stories we tell ourselves. It only got one season. It deserved so much more.
