“Love this show, their hot takes minisodes, and the blube scale. Started listening during Lovecraft and liked hearing their perspective not being from the US. I was so happy that they are covering Last of Us, especially with a host who played the game to give game versus series insights.”

“Unfortunately the hosts of this podcast have really missed out on an opportunity to discuss the mastery of Lovecraft Country’s themes of racial injustice, sexuality, sexism and family dynamics in the Jim Era in Southern USA. Additionally, they ignore discussions on the references to literature,...”Read full review »

“If you watch the show and need a companion pod to help you make sense of things, this is it.
I’m not a book reader and it can be confusing I understand but this pod does a really good job explaining things.
Just stop searching and choose this one. It’s fantastic”

“After listening to this podcast I find their perspective to be very basic and uniformed. The show serves to reclaim lost history not be a motion picture or HBO reiteration of the book. The podcasters are clueless of history and have no references for “African Americans” or POC history. But enjoy!”

“I was looking for a more literature/storyline based podcast and I found it here. Yay!! The low score comes because they seem to lack the open mindedness that is needed for an in depth interpretation and retelling of a piece of fiction. To the extent that one of the panelist leave because it...”Read full review »

“Go to the official HBO podcast for a real deep dive.
These guys miss most of the nuance and fail to understand or analyze the significant role that racism plays in the story. This is not a show just about monsters.”

“These guys had great reviews so I listened to the review for the fourth episode and became offended with the talk about the character, Christina. What they said was racist in my opinion. I’m Cuban-American so I’ve enjoyed Lovecraft Country for its racial insight more than anything. I’ve...”Read full review »

“Followed over from Watchmen, enjoy your perspective.
And I’m still making those yummy ribs in my pressure cooker!
And a comment I made to my friend who said, “yea I get it, white people are bad.” No, just these white people are bad; don’t be like them.”

“Came here looking for some in-depth discussion and theory crafting. I found this unlistenable - maybe the hosts being British don’t have the correct context to understand the show. They have no insight into race in America or the black experience and don’t seem interested in that aspect of the...”Read full review »

“It’s so nice to have an in-depth companion podcast to go along with a show. They make an effort to research source material and other context. They’re funny and engaging. And they have good a dialogue with their audience.”

“This podcast seems to take a very literal, obvious, and shallow dive into the story. Seemingly really just looking at the story/storytelling as text. They don’t seem to understand the context or importance of Jim Crow era USA or racism and Lovecraft. Little disappointed. Not really worth the listen.”

“The Watchmen coverage was the absolute best. So I know the Lovecraft episodes will not only be full of information and things we may have missed in an episode, but also lots of laughs.
Really looking forward to this one mates.
Cheers”
