Lovecraft Country
Misha Green’s adaptation of Matt Ruff’s best-seller explores racism in 1950s America through a lens of violence both supernatural and all-too-human; as the name suggests, H.P. Lovecraft is a big thematic influence, though the story also knowingly subverts his troubled legacy. Although then-rising star Jonathan Majors has fallen from grace since the show aired on HBO in 2020, you can’t discount the rest of the cast, which includes Jurnee Smollett, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Courtney B. Vance, Wunmi Mosaku, Jamie Chung, and Michael K. Williams. Watch season one on Tubi.
