I am not just referring to the history of literary fiction, but I now know why the White House is white and what a Sundown county is.
The most surprising thing however, is the free history lesson that came with this episode.
It was horrifying to learn that the realistic depiction of segregation, bigotry and racial violence would be far more triggering than the lovecraftian monsters that are pure nightmare fuel. It was exhilarating to watch a series in the horror genre with the knowledge that the lead is a black man, which meant that for once black people wouldn’t be the first to go. The premiere episode was equally triggering as it was riveting. Personally, I get all those enthusiasts that can’t help but to share for I am about to the very same thing. However, be forewarned that “ going in blank” might prove to be extremely challenging at this point considering everybody and their momma posted their feelings, opinions and even Easter eggs all over the internet. Take it from someone who speaks from experience and thank me later. But if you haven’t seen “Sundown” yet and it’s currently on your watchlist … please back away slowly!! I say this very lovingly, because you really need to go into this episode as blank as you possibly can. If this premise sounds right up your alley, you have come to the right place because I am about to breakdown my favourite moments of this premier episode. This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback”. Lovecraft Country follows Atticus Freeman as he joins up with his friend Letitia Lewis and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father. This latest HBO gem is an American drama horror television series developed by Misha Green based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Matt Ruff. Did you catch the first episode of HBO’s Lovecraft Country?
