    Storyline

    Edit
    Lovecraft Country follows Atticus Freeman as he joins up with his friend Letitia and his Uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father. This begins a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and the terrifying monsters that could be ripped from a Lovecraft paperback.

    • Trivia
      Jamie Chung said in an interview that she had no problem being completely naked for her first ever nude scene in episode six of the first season because physicality is so important to her character. But she joked that she still doesn't want her parents to watch. She specifically told them, "I'm so proud of my work, but please, for the love of God, just don't."

    Excellent educational tool in the perfect horror
    I have not had a show relate so much to my inner nerd and suspense. This is an excellent show which gives factual Black history.
