Good Morning, World

Well I wasn't planning on doing weekly update posts about HBO's Lovecraft Country, but then they went and got my new boyfriend Jonathan Majors naked (or thereabouts) in all the first three episodes, and so... here we are. Third post in a row. But that's alright! That's okay! because this week's episode was much much better than last week's, so I'm happy to be here to say that. So i will. This week's episode was much much better -- hell I'll throw in a third much even -- than last week's, which was a big mess. This week's episode was good enough...

... that it actually made some of the things that felt hella sloppy about last week's look better -- it sorted out some through-lines for characters and some plot points that the second episode obliterated in its frantic WTF-ery. To be clear the second episode remains a mess, but they found ways in the third to slap smiley face stickers on the mess from... beyond, if you will. And they also found ways, dunno if I mentioned, to drop Jonathan Majors' pants again. Hooray! All in all I'd call that a win. Hit the jump for all my gifs...

Wow! I've been debating whether to watch this (I'm a picky eater when it comes to horror), so I appreciate the updates as well as the gifs!

I'm loving this show, it's beautifully shot. A great combo of horror w/ social commentary and history (And it's so fucking satisfying to see racists get killed).
Jurnee Smollet is spectacular, and gorgeous.

Jurnee really does have such terrific electrifying presence here, I hope she gets lots of work off of this (Majors too but I am real obvious about that and haven't mentioned her nearly enough)
