IIRC the most explicit things are the main character having a dream that features Cthulhu at the start of the first episode and a short conversation in that same episode with his dad where it's established he likes Lovecraft's stories but that his dad also made him read racist essays Lovecraft put out. The show itself definitely wasn't in the cosmic horror genre and was more inspired by other works of horror, fantasy, and sci-fi. I will give them credit for a very Lovecraftian reimagining of the nine-tailed fox, though.EDIT: Out of curiosity I looked to see if any details about the cancelled second season of Lovecraft Country (which would be completely original and not based on a pre-existing work) had been released and am now VERY curious what they had in mind, because apparently it involved a massive zombie outbreak and the breakdown of the US.</blockquote>
