As someone else that really enjoyed it, it's kind of a combination. Predominantly it's a horror show with strong Lovecraftian themes, but it also takes place in the 1950s US South and really uses that setting as it's own flavor of horror.

Maybe like Lovecraft and Stephen King made a movie set in the racial tension of the 50s.

Lovecraft Country is an Anthology show of “horror” stories that incorporate some Lovecraft themes.

The first two episodes were good, the rest of it is unwatchable trash.

1 was the little stick things. 2 was LA? 3- oh yeah, the guy with different times.. Good but you really have to pay attention. 4 was alaska. I think one and four are best, then three. I couldn't get into season two.
