It is rare for the TV series to find their foundation when it hit the Earth. Personally, some of my favorite shows of all time (whether they "stop and catch fire" or "Rebels of" Starwell War " - my flavors are nothing if they are eclectic) were clearly uncertain about what they even wanted to be in the first seasons. Even top television touch stones like "crazy men" are far more clumsy and ham in their earliest episodes than you might remember. Indeed, the list of cherished titles on a small screen that went down to the rocky start continues. (Just ask your local traveler somewhere The first season of "Star Trek: Next Generation" ... but maybe set aside an hour aside before you do it.)

This is also what makes all those unexpected short -lived shows there fascinating "what if it is", perhaps more than the wild ambitious adaptation of Misha Green's HBO series, the adaptation of the literary Smorgasboard on Matt Rufus, the country of Lovecraft. As his title and description suggest, both Ruf's novel for 2016 and the Re -integration of the small screen of Green aim to correct the horrible racism of the work of HP Lovecraft, while at the same time accepting the most sincerely strange perspectives of the writer and shining the dark truth. Given that frightening task, it may not be a surprise, the first season of Green's "Lovecraft Earth" series was a mosaic of spectacular images and concepts, but still intertwined with insufficiently examined ideas, underdeveloped conspiracy strands and disgruntled varnishes. At worst, the series was to blame for connecting its plot with true historical events "in ways that were equal parts awkward and trampled", such as RingerPut Lex prior.

However, with the earnings of the show Strong views in early walking And generating a healthy HBO original rating, there was a fair reason to hope that the "Land of Lovecraft" would come completely in its second season, after covering Ruf's entire book. Indeed, shortly after the first season, Green said The deadline She has already used another season that will continue to "restore the space for storytelling from the genre that people are usually left out of color." So why didn't it happen? The answer, similar to the series itself, is heart and frustrating at once.

Set against Jimim Crowe's background in the United States in the 1950s (time and place as scary as it was imagined, Lovcraft), "Land of Lovcraft" Season 1 focuses on the adventures of the Fantastic Korean military veteran at the adventures of the Korean military veteran at Athikus. Immediately, you can see at least one reason why, looking back now, HBO executives are probably facilitated canceled the series in July 2021with Specialty has since been found guilty of harassment and attack in court.

Before his conviction, a report of bombs from Rolling stone He also revealed several additional charges against specialty, accusing him of offensive and toxic behavior in both his personal life and in professional environments as an actor. Remember, all this came out after the publication of the book "Tinderbox" in 2021: HBO's relentless search for new boundaries ". There, author/rapporteur Jamesimes Andrew Miller has published charges of" People Working on the Show and People who represented people in the show " Hollywood reporter At the time of publishing the book. Based on Miller's investigation, this was the reason why HBO chose to ax in the series without providing a reason over the unclear speech of corporations. As if it were not enough, the actor of the character Extracardar and the co-star "Lovecraft Earth" Michael K. Williams (who was as appealing as always in the role of emotionally damaged father of Tik, Montros) then died of accidental drug overdose Two months after the show was canned.

Was the specialty the real problem together? There were other problems with how Green ran into the show? Honestly, it feels irresponsible to speculate on this issue. All that can be said is that the brutal, smooth display of the series of horrors in the real life of prejudice, which were inserted directly into the Zeitgeist of Black Lives Matter Matter, when it was broadcast in the summer of 2020 ... but it was also a project where his creator had no control over the Volan. Then, again, to quote Lex prior once again, maybe what is more important is that a black as Green "was actually given the space to shoot for the moon than the fact that she often missed it." Maybe that's what will really lead to something better in the future.
