Finished up a few things over the weekend.
Truth Seekers was awesome. Quick half hour episodes; funny as f with some great jump scares. If you are a fan of Pegg and Frost's other work; you'll dig this immensely. Malcom McDowell is great as well. He usually is wayyyyyyy OTT; but he is subdued just enough this. So much better this way. Give it a watch.
Finished up Lovecraft Country. Tough one. Was great overall. I
really LOVED the first 3, 4 episodes. Then it went batsh!t into sci-fi land and seemed to remove itself from the horror side of the equation and I wasn't near as enthused. I'll take horror over sci-fi, 8 days a week. Horror with a science fiction slant? Sure. Bring it on

But straight up sci-fi is just boring for me. Yuck. I will say the Goonies side project episode was a nice little adventurous detour. The episode where Tic's
aunt went into another dimension and found her strength, named herself was just beyond me. Whether that makes me dumb or not

I didn't sign up for (insert whatever science fiction show I will never willingly watch here), thank you. Let's get back to horrible reality of the real world or get back to the cabin in the woods mentality
The biggest issue is a lot of the horror in this series was what was happening in real life. Which gave it serious weight and heft as a drama. I can't say enough about the acting in this. Actor portraying Atticus was phenomenal as was Michael Kenneth Williamson. That dude needs a lifetime achievement award. His portrayals are always super deep because of the struggles his characters face are always just terrible. Which goes without saying but I will say it anyway. But I
do wish they could have kept the fantastical side of the horror up a little more, at the same time? Minor quibble and in all honesty; it made for a better show in the end.
For me; they pulled out of that mid season "slump" and got back to where they needed to in general. As far as the "horror" goes; the
shedding skin is one of the neatest (but nastiest) things I have ever seen in a horror film/series. Beyond the implications on a social commentary level. And the monsters were awesome as well. I am curious how they are planning on going forward with it. If they do plan to go forward?
