Has anyone else started watching this awesome, magnificent show that everyone playing Pathfinder should have seen by now? :) :) :)
I stopped after the throat cutting scene since that really put me off. Plus I was just dissatisfied with how the story structure was.(So much could be done at the lodge but they just hammered through it.)
Yeah I got this back when it aired. I really enjoyed it. I felt the final was not as good as it could have been. Some good television for sure though.
It was great TV, but I agree there were some strange choices. That being said, I wanted there to be a second season.

I am actually ok with no second season. I think we could do with more limited series. You get too many seasons going and it really shows in the quality.
Eh. I mean I can get it with some British drama (Red Fort for example). Not sure I felt that way with Lovecraft Country if only because of some of the dangling threads left. (like does Dee and her Mom start their own black JLA?)

Michael K Williams was as epic as ever, also my first exposure to Jonathan Majors. Very recommend. Great Tv

I got maybe part through it, then pretty much lost interest. However, I loved Jonathan Majors’ performance, which is why I was excited when they announced he’d be Kang in the MCU.
I did a double take when you said that! his style is so different as Kang that I didn't even register he was the same actor! that cameleon-esque aspect of blending into a completely different persona is the hallmark of a great actor IMO...
Glad the MCU got him; now let's hope they give him lots of screen time!!
I liked the show, and was disappointed there wouldn't be more of it. But it did cover the entirety of the book, so maybe that is a good thing.

Exactly. I'm excited about the possibility he'll play not just Kang, but all of Kang's various personas from throughout his own timeline(s?).

I haven't seen the HBO series, but I have read the book by Matt Ruff and thought it was brilliant. My favorite chapter was the one that involved taming the haunted house.
I think that my favorite thing about the book was how the most terrifying thing that the black characters in the book were facing was racism, so when the eldritch horrors show up, the characters face those with aplomb. "I've faced scarier things than you today!"

Unfortunately, they changed up the haunted house quite a bit. Also, the ending is very different. Outside of those elements, I think they did a very good job adapting the book to a series.

The haunted house ending was rather neat with
Orville is correct, Hillary they make some substantive changes from the book but I felt still kept the intent/basic premise intact.
*agrees with Toz about not bothering*

There just wasn't enough Lovecraft in it for me. I wanted some colors from out of space.
That said I LOVED the ending scene.
I mean I thought there was SOME...but if you want specific Lovecraft thing, then yes this wasn't that show in part.

Still kind of wish we'd get a second season...but maybe they'll do a spinoff down the road...
