I didn’t know what to expect when I started watching this. Nothing much happens as the story goes along but somehow is engaging, maybe the simple story playing along, meeting the characters or just simply....good acting.... but by the end of the episode I was stuck to my sofa..... I need more!!!!!

Aside from the out of place (and time) modern rap music, I enjoyed this first episode a lot.

Only the first episode is out thus far but I liked what I saw. Was pretty genius really to use 50s racism as a horror element. I found the sundown town scene tense as hell.

I like weird shows, I've enjoyed other Bad Robot shows where a bunch of wacky things happen, this one was too hard to follow for me though. It just seemed weird for the sake of weirdness, and I fully understand why it got cancelled because even six episodes in I couldn't figure out what the real draw was.

[HBO] The proposal to offer a historical vision on racism, mixed with a monsters fantasy that is quite childish, doesn'#39;t work well. Using racist elements to condemn racism and a certain macho vision (female characters always are around a male one), the story is messy and confusing. Only episodes that have some independence ('#34;Meet me in Daegu'#34;) manage to stand out from idiotic musical anachronisms and poor FX.

I watched two episodes. Man... I was so pumped for this show. What a waste of talent, Jonathan Majors could well alone drag a show on his shoulders. The story is confusing and unengaging, some weird real-world quotes used as a narration element (I only recognized James Baldwin)... After an hour and a half into the story, I realized. I don'#39;t care about anything on the screen. I guess it'#39;s supposed to be artsy and cool, but it just feels like a bad show. P.S. Americans, can we stop with the racism already? They go into a restaurant and then white guys appear and chase them trying to shoot them in a broad daylight? I don'#39;t know the history but feels a bit unrealistic. At least the delivery.

Don’t waste your time. It’s basically if black people from racist America met magic. It had so much potential but this is so lame

Absolutely loving everything about this show, though I have to say, it’s a little disheartening, yet not surprising, that it appears many reviewers are not understanding the true meaning behind the show’s title. Hopefully they’ll stick with the show and get the deeper meaning behind it’s perfect play on words. I hope this show has a long, long life and continues to uncompromisingly retell some of the most defining moments in black history while maintaining its colorful use of sci-fi and horror to drive its stories along. The writing and acting is just short of being simply pure perfection in my book. 9/10

This isn’t lovecraftian at all, don’t get your hopes up. This is more like if old racist America met with a magic cult. However the actors are really what carry this show, it’s better as a character drama than it is as a lovecraftian horror show.

The first episode was ok, but the second and third... this is not Lovecraft.

This is a great show. Interesting and engaging. It seems like every episode hits a different genre. You'#39;re never quite sure what'#39;s going to happen next. The performances were all very good I especially liked the Letitia '#34;Letty'#34; character. She was very strong and didn'#39;t let anything shake her as she accepted every new piece of crazyness that came her way each episode. All the female characters in this show are very strong and resilient. It'#39;s definitely worth a watch. How I rate: 1-3 :heart: = seriously! don'#39;t waste your time 4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this 7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too 9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

Top notch show it has everything I could want. People are gonna hate for saying this but it was way better than Black Panther. No disrespect to the late Chadwick Bosemen.

Unflinching depictions of racism, compelling and suspenseful writing and world building topped off with great acting and direction. Really one of the only shows on tv currently that is this unique and affecting. I really hope this gets renewed for season 2!
