Starting next week on HBO. Looks fantastic from the trailer and I’ve loved Jonathan Majors and Jurnee Smollett in whatever I’ve seen them in. Also Shangela has a cameo in one episode.
I’m enjoying this, I was expecting it to be focused on the house and the woods so it took me by surprise when it all ended but I’m glad we’re getting more of Letti’s sister next week.
I couldn't get into the second episode quite so much, but still looking forward to seeing where it goes and the introduction of Michael Kenneth Williams can only be a positive thing as he is always well worth watching.
I can’t really gauge the tone of the show with all the supernatural stuff going on. Like it works in Game of Thrones but here it just seems a bit plonked in and far fetched. But then I’m enjoying it so whatever.
of all the lovely dresses in the wardrobe and Leti chose that? I feel the show has taken a turn for the worse. I was hoping that the gothic/Lovecraftian influences would be used a bit more intellectually but the second episode felt like Once Upon a Time trying to tackle the history of racism
Well, this is getting far too supernatural and ridiculous for my taste, but at least Omar showed up and it’s better than that shitshow His Dark Materials.
I thought the first episode was ok, but I watched the second episode and no more. It's striving for some sort of depth and importance, but it all just feels really silly and mostly generic. I really don't understand the fuss.
The main cast are really likeable but the show isn't clicking yet. I don't know if it is still settling down, though it isn't as if a whole host of new characters were introduced this week and it still seemed uneven.
This show wants to be so many different things at the same time. I wish it was less silly because the cast is interesting enough and it’s visually appealing.
I enjoyed the first episode but it was rather all over the place. I don't know anything about it other than having read some Lovecraft, so it obviously wasn't what I was expecting But Johanthan Majors OH MY
I'll stick with a few more to see if it draws me in.
Haven't read the thread as I have a few episodes left, but once I got a handle on what was going on in this (ep 4 onwards) I've really started to enjoy it.
