The approach Lovecraft Country has taken to episode structure in its short time on the air has certainly been unique. After burning through enough plot for an entire season during the show’s first two episodes, episodes three and four have each tackled a particular film genre (haunted house in episode three and an Indiana Jones-style […]
Another week, another disappointment. Enzo got the ball rolling by winning a ball-rolling Head of Household competition that was rather mundane and boring and nominated two players America actually liked, Kaysar and Kevin. Kaysar was still reeling from losing Janelle, his half-duo partner (and America was still in mourning for Janelle). So we already knew […]

Well, that was a hell of a lot of plot to churn through in a single hour of television. And to remove two of the show’s most recognizable actors from the gameboard this early in the run of a series (that would be Courtney B. Vance – who certainly could still come back from the […]
The week of Memphis (and why do the “jock” type white males always win early? Whyyyyyyyy?) proved to be more watchable than expected, although that was mainly because the end result wasn’t terrible. Who won? Memphis targeting David and Nicole A. wasn’t initially terrible–and while Nicole A. didn’t suffer an epic meltdown about it, her […]
Doctor Who enters into the realms of gothic horror with the Mary Shelley focused episode “The Haunting of Villa Diodati.” In the year 1816 on the shores of Lake Geneva, some of the greatest writers of the period have gathered together for a night of fun and games.
