The premiere of the Lovecraft Country HBO series is just a week away now. The review embargo lifted this past Friday, and the advance reaction has been overwhelmingly positive.
First out of the gate is this rave from Alan Sepinwall at Rolling Stone, who says Lovecraft Country is “one of the best shows HBO has made in a long, long time.” Time magazine calls it “stunning” and “an absolutely wild ride.” And there’s a lot more in this vein.
Needless to say, I’m over the moon about all this—and I can’t wait till next Sunday.
I don’t like horror, which is what Peele really specializes in, but I’ll check out this series. Maybe I should read the book first!
