Lovecraft rarely discribed the monsters in his stories in great detail, leaving much to the imagination, and creating a strange other worldly atmosphere around his mythos. That is what the show (judging by the first episode) is lacking.Subverting Lovecraft is great. But doing a worse job than him at the horror is not. Lovecraft is not a briljant horror writer by any stretch of the imagination, but he sure did horror a lot better than this show has done so far.There are many ways to do horror. Racism as horror does not need to be subtle. But Lovecraftian monsters benefit from a bit of mystery and suspense. Just throwing blood at the screen does not have the same effect.</blockquote>
