10/10
Superb start!

Warning: Spoilers
SUNDOWN, the excellent premiere episode to what looks like a potentially fascinating series, doesn't waste any time of getting to it's premise. The first 30 minutes gets all the pleasantries, introduction, and exposition out of the way, then the last 40 minutes kicks into full gear! Deftly combining elements of fantasy, horror and sci-fi within the context of a scarily gritty and realistic period piece, this show looks like it could end up being the next big thing on HBO. Fueled by an impressive cast, strong writing, great acting, top notch action scenes, and an entertaining story, this new series LoveCraft Country appears to be jumpstarting a new era of HBO and could very well be the flagship series for the network in the 2020s, much like Game of Thrones was from the previous decade.
