Se Hyppolita e Ruby hanno avuto le chiavi della componente più strettamente individualistica e personale del racconto, quella destinata agli uomini dietro ogni spettatore, Leti e Atticus sono stati invece i personaggi che dovevano colpire al cuore degli spettatori. Volendo essere esemplificativi, sono stati loro quelli che hanno dovuto intrattenere, con la loro storia d'amore, con le loro avventure, facendo i conti…More

Stesso discorso vale per Hyppolita, nata come personaggio marginale e finita per essere la protagonista assoluta dell'episodio più riuscito dell'intera serie. "I Am" è stato senza dubbio il momento più discusso, e forse criticato, della prima stagione. Affidare ad un personaggio secondario il compito di lanciare il messaggio più potente e di vivere le scene visivamente più indelebili è stata una scelta azzardata, in…More
Ci sono sezioni del grande libro raccontato da Misha Green che mostrano con estrema efficacia il disagio del popolo afroamericano nella vita quotidiana. Pensiamo, ad esempio, a quando Ruby, grazie a William / Christine, riesce a realizzare il suo sogno di essere una donna bianca, o meglio di essere trattata come una donna bianca. La sorella di Leti, sarà vittima di sè stessa, dei suoi sogni, delle sue ambizioni. Que…More
Lovecraft Country doveva essere il nuovo Watchmen, doveva essere la serie evento di HBO, doveva essere tante cose. E' stata tante cose ugualmente ma fatte di una materia diversa rispetto ai sogni che ci eravamo prefigurati nelle nostre testoline accingendoci a guardare il pilot (di cui vi avevo parlato in questo post di first impression). E siamo alle solite. Come giudicare un buon prodotto, forse addirittura ottimo…More
Parlare di Lovecraft Country ti riempie di quella sensazione che provi quando devi raccontare una bella partita di calcio nella quale la squadra per cui facevi il tifo ha perso. Sei molto, molto felice, da appassionato, di aver assistito ad un incontro esteticamente valido, che ti ha divertito, che ti ha emozionato, che ti ha fatto persino venire voglia di approfondire una certa tattica, un certo giocatore. Al tempo…More
This is a cross post of @readingdanvers/lovecraft-country-episode-10-review-season-finale by @readingdanvers. A review of the last episode of Lovecraft CountryMore
Lovecraft Country ended with a bang. It was a good conclusion to all of the themes of the show. From racism, to magic, to family, they all got a satisfying conclusion. But I have to say, the first half of the episode was pretty boring. In fact, they could have easily cut it out and focus on the ending a lot more. Maybe give us a much needed epilogue. The beginning was just too underwhelming. Plus the transition from…More
I'm not sure how I feel about this episode. On the one hand it was a historically important and emotionally loaded episode, on the other hand it was a bit Deus ex machina. But in the end, it was a really good episode. I will forgive them the convenient solution as it was a really good episode. Less supernatural horror, more people are horrible. This show has two kinds of episodes, over the top supernatural monster m…More
This is a special show. Also it is totally crazy, fun, unpleasant, whatever you can think of this show has it. It is brilliant. During this episode, I had to pick my jaw off the floor several times. Yes, it deals with a lot of racist issues. I mean if there is a white person in an episode, they are probably or evil or crazy. I know that it bothers some people, but it doesn't bother me at all. Probably because she sh…More
Source After being slightly disappointed by the lack of hardcore horror in the Haunting of Bly Manor, I was hoping for this HBO series to provide the good horror I was looking for. To my surprise, my disappointment in this series is much bigger and not only because it lacks horror. The story is about a black family with a lot of courage and a very mysterious past. They will begin to discover their past after receivi…More
Well, this episode was brilliant, crazy and unique. You have to hand it to this show, it is one of the most original shows out there. I mean I have no idea what I just saw, but I have never seen anything like it. I thought that it will be an episode that focuses on the mysteries of the show. However, this is another episode that explores a single character rather than move the plot forward. We see for a short time t…More
This episode is a flashback episode. I am not sure how important it is to the general plot of the show, but it was a really good and crazy episode. I mean wow. The episode doesn't even follow any of the characters that we usually do. The episode takes place in the 1950 in Korea and follows Ji-Ah (played by Jamie Chung who played Blink in The Gifted ). Ji-Ah is a military nurse and she is a very strange woman. Her mo…More
Well, that was a crazy episode. It was also crazy good. Even though it didn't move the plot along by much, but it explored topics of race and gender in a very interesting manner. It is had some very good interesting character development for a few side characters. Also, this episode has a lot of scary and disgusting moments. Prepare yourselves. First I want to mention Misha Green, who is the showrunner and writer of…More
This was an unusual episode. By unusual I mean that there was barley any horror in it, it was an adventure episode. A really cool Indiana Jones type of adventure. Not what I expected from this show at all. A little disappointing, but it was still a good episode. Atticus Freeman is determined to find the missing three pages from the book of names that are hidden. They are hidden really well. I mean hidden in an illog…More
Ok. This episode was different and I liked it. More classical horror combined with some racism. Also this episode focuses more on Leti, so Jurnee Smollett really gets a chance to shine. Although I am not sure I am a fan of what the writers are doing with the character. This episode feels like a complete cut from the previous one, until the end. Leti buys a house, a really big house, in a white neighborhood. She conv…More
Well, I can't say that it escalated quickly because the previous episode was also one hell of an escalation towards the end, but this is some other level of crazy. This episode was so awesome that it feels like it contained the plot of an entire season in one episode, but I'm glad that they didn't spend too much time on it. It would have made everything too slow is it dragged for an entire season. But as one episode…More
A volte basta davvero poco per diventare un cult ancor prima della messa in onda del pilot. Il rischio, come accaduto a tante serie tv in passato, è che questa "sentenza" possa trasformarsi in un boomerang. Solo il tempo ci dirà se questo sarà o meno il caso di Lovecraft Country, serie tv della HBO, da poco in onda sulla cable tv statunitense. In rete pullulava lo slogan: "ecco la nuova Watchmen". Uno slogan irritan…More
Lovecraft Country is a new horror show based on a book by the same name written by Matt Ruff. The show airs on HBO and HBOMax . Lovecraft himself probably wouldn't approve of the show as he was really racist. A fact that the show doesn't shy away from, which is really impressive. Lovecraft did approve of others taking on his mythology, which others did, and this show does it as well. Brilliantly. I guess the book di…More
The duo Jordan Peele and J.J. Abrams presents a new series set in the 50's with fantastic and scary elements from Lovecraft. Source - Edited in photoshop > What is the plot of Lovecraft Country? Atticus Freeman returns to Chicago, stops with his uncle George, to look for his father, who was last seen dating a white man in a luxury car.

На минувших выходных канал HBO начал показ хоррор-сериала « Страна Лавкрафта » (Lovecraft Country) продюсеров Джей Джей Абрамса и Джордана Пила, основанного на одноименном романе Мэтта Раффа. Как фанат прозы великого и ужасного Говарда Филлипса, я конечно же не мог пройти мимо и более того, очень доволен увиденным. Действие сериала разворачивается в Соединенных Штатах 50-х годов. Вернувшийся с корейской войны и влюб…More
