Lovecraft Country: Jig-a-Bobo (2020)
Season 1, Episode 8
3/10
Stuff happens for no reason

This is the point the show entirely lost me. The characters lost all motivation to do what they do, the overall plot lost amongst the many spinoff-episodes, the whole things feels leads nowhere, the sideplots get no conclusion or relevance, it just fades into oblivion.

For the enjoyment-factor it is only 1/10, but obviously the actors and the crew does what they can with the nonsense they were given, so for that I gave more points.

What the show also lack is LOVECRAFT. That darn thing is in the title. Where is my lovecraftian HORROR? I recognise elements here-and-there, but way too far-and-between, without practicaly no relevance to the story. Sure, there's this jewish magic - Lovecraft never had jewish magic, and the magic part wasn't that important for his universe. Where are the cosmic entities and cosmic terror? Or in general: what are stakes in here? Sure, there's this Illuminati magican society - but are they a threat, or something? Casting magic isn't inherently a problem, the protagnosts do that too, so what's the deal here, someone explain it to me!
