Lovecraft Country

Ok, HBO. That first episode was pretty strong. I am interested!

Watchmen was a nice surprise. I hope this one is too.

Agreed, I'm a big fan.  Honestly, I didn't even need the creatures and mansion, though I am sure they'll add intrigue.  The sense of total foreboding, of setting out into a hostile and uncharted world was palpable, all the more so because it's actually a world I am comfortable in but the characters were not.  It's done more to take me out of myself than most horror/fantasy I've seen recently, and I'm a genre devotee.  Full marks.

That they should so handily embrace the mythos and confront the bigot who wrote it is an added narrative benefit.  There could not have been a better moment for this show, and it wears its timeliness with confidence.

Also, and please don't let this distract from the above, Jurnee Smollett is hot.

Rising Phoenix 

 

Touches us on so many levels as our very good friend and former Russian and Italian Olympic fencing coach at one time stepped in to coach Italian paralympic athletes when their coach bailed on them.  Eventually his athletes medaled and set many individual records. Defines what real challenge and dedication to life's goals is all about.

Agreed. Enjoyed and it got better as the season progressed (at least until I lost Apple+). I'm sure sports fans are aware of the series origins, but I didn't until YouTube suggested. From seven years ago...
