It drives me crazy. Especially liberal whites are horrible in that they continue to deny that racism exists all over this country. And in fact, The Green Book cites more forbidden places in the Midwest and Northeast than in the American South.

Right they act like racism completely stopped at the Mason Dixie line.
It is indeed,unfortunate; but true, that such a "GUIDE TO SAFE TRAVEL INFO AND ACCOMMODATIONS" FOR BLACK AMERICANS EVER EXISTED ,AND STILL DOES ! It is also still a fact,that "SUN-DOWN "TOWNS STILL EXIST IN 21st CENTURY AMERICA.If one is skeptical about this;please ask ANY BLACK LONG-HAUL TRUCKER ABOUT "GETTING SAFELY"FROM ONE SIDE OF THIS COUNTRY TO THE OTHER.
Thing is sundown towns really did exist. Don't know if you meant to sound as though they were fiction in how you described them but it kind of gave off that vibe.
I am SO excited about this show! I’m just trying to decide if I should watch week to week or wait until the season is done so I can binge it all at once! Can’t wait!
The success and critical acclaim from critics about the Watchmen sequel miniseries that featured Regina King in a prominent role and had a awesome supporting cast...probably had a lot to do with HBO giving the show the greenlight plus Jordan Peele appears to have the midas touch...picking up the torch left behind by the late John Singleton who was a director and producer of several movie and TV projects even if the projects were not entirely his ...in the beginning...it is good to see Mischa Greene become successful after Underground!
@@butitsureisfun460 its mostly a period and genre piece about family drama and systemic racism. The lovecraftian horror is more of an aesthetic backdrop.
very excited to see this. not familiar with the novel but it seems to b talking about improtant issue. and Jordan peele is involved in this and staring jurnee smollett
This show is absolutely bad ass!! And thank god i was born in the 80’s 😉 and cmon its not like the writers and producers are exaggerating on what it was like back then or wait now or.... 🤷♂️
If you really think that's how the world is now you've got issues. Yes blacks had it bad back in the day but now they have equal rights, it is NOTHING like the old days.
@@HarryL2020 I think what he's trying to convey is yes people of color have equal rights now but that doesn't still mean people don't feel the same way they did back in that era just think most of our parents if not you maybe were born in the 60s when they abolished segregation so don't you still think feeling can linger still after those years? Honestly speaking
@@vagabondvon6708 BLM (Burn Loot Murder) isn't helping racial relations either... I and many people have no problems with different races, however they seem to be making everything about race.
Did anyone notice the name "Horacio Winthrop" written next to "Titus Braithwaithe" on the border/frame of Genesis 2:19 in Samuel Braithwaithe's operating room? If I'm not mistaken, isn't the name of the house Leti buys the "Winthrop House"? I believe that's what it's called in the book. I wonder if this will resurface in next weekend's episode.
Why do you say that? i just saw the final trailer for the Force Awakens. I sense nothing but good things from Abrams where SW is concern. The SW future is bright once more! By the way, it's currently Nov 2015 where i'm from
The magic of lovecraft falls apart somewhat when you realize that he thought air conditioning was Clark tech. I.e Technology so advanced it may as well be magic.
@@President-Ratman They left it open as well, to a second season, Misha was creating a second season when it got cancelled. I just read that in an article, Hopefully someone picks it up.
I started watching this show because I thought it was about crazy weird things but it’s about racism and there’s enough of that already in the past! Damn it man!
Personally, I would like to African American actors in roles that ARE NOT set in the backdrop of racism. That would be true progress. It is becoming over done. It as if they can only do a show or movie if it is about racism.
Cthulhite was just a zilch. I put too much of my expectations how it will look like when I saw the trailer. Hope they will deliver it better in future episodes
....." But he wasn't the most progressive individual " my man dropped that like white folk have really come a long way or something. Same old stuff just masked a little bit better, the reality is things haven't changed that much.
@@averyjohnson1680 yeah and it's gotten better,like I've said before obv it's still there in ,but it has gotten a whole lot better. There were martyrs who gave these freedoms,plus everyone is going to hate someone for something,i would rather have rights than just ending racism because you really can't. People remembered Ghandi as a peaceful protestor but he was a racist towards africans. Legit we all the world is grey.
I can’t wait for this show, i think it’s gonna be really good. My only problem is, i hope it doesn’t become some political stunt, where the story is bad at the expense of trying to push racial things. As long as all of the racial point match with the story, then i think it’ll be fine.
"bad at the expense of trying to push racial things" exactly why the show is needed. People keep trying to rewrite history as if terrible things didn't happen for multiple generations.
I see it as more Mary Shelly( who is really the monster/evil), but the cosmic horror makes it lovecraftian (the monsters don't care, all humans might as well be ants.)
Sundown Towns exist all over the country, even the world--not just the American South. That was the problem with "The Green Book". This country simply refuses to come to terms with race and racism in this ENTIRE country--not just the south.
@@ShadowbannedbyTH-cam sigh, ignorant bastard ... how about explaining it instead of criticizing me . That’s what’s wrong with black ppl ( I hope u black) never wanna help each other always wanna judge !
@@xyraxiomara4202 white guy here, just finished it- In my belief, the shows a fictitious twist of real world events and life for black people in the 50's dealing with societal issues like racism (obviously) homosexuality, classism, and family. The monsters in the show are a clear allegory suggesting the racist whites from that time were true monsters to black people, and through very visceral imagery and scenes, forced the viewer to take a raw look at the history of what the black community faced during that time. It's about accepting yourself, but fighting for what you believe in. The importance of culture, family, and pride in one's self in spite of societal pressures or bigoted views, even from those close to you. That's what I gleaned from it- the message was layered a little harder than the science fiction aspect of the show and it didn't always blend well together in my opinion, but it's not really a show designed FOR me in many aspects
I just love Letticia (Journee) hair, outfits, everything I admit the aliens threw me off at first but I trust these actors and producers, so I know this will be good.
some people watched it twice, It was extremely biblical too me but necessary to further the story. we needed to know about the fathers and his birth right George serve his purpose I'm excited for 3
My personal opinion on the tv show: Pros: - acting: outstanding, the actors embrace their roles and give them depth... very enjoyable - sound track: loved the mixing of genres, between music from the 50's and more modern artists, good idea and gives it almost a timeless feel - decor and costumes: very well done, each decor has it's own personality and every character their own recognizable style Cons: - the story in itself is extremely bad. There are many wonderful ideas in this series, some of which should have been developed more in depth, but the whole is superficial, whether how the racism is treated to the "solution" to the racism, all bad and simplistic. Perhaps the series should have been treated differently, with each episode being independent from one another (à la Black Mirror). I haven't read the book, and after watching the series, don't plan on taking my chances spending money on it. Conclusion: this series was truly a disappointment for me. There are so many good points to it, but the story... it kills everything. I would rather watch a show with a mediocre soundtrack and/or costume & decor but have a good story, than this... Am I the only one who felt this way? Most critics I've read loved it... Am I missing something? Or does everyone "love" this series just because it superficially denounces racism without taking into consideration the whole of the storyline?
Wasn’t true blood, blade and plenty of others genre films and shows that had black leads or mostly black crews way before get out?????????????? I was actually interested in this show
Brianna Turton I think you greatly underestimate some of the biggest parts. By a large margin. The best actor on that show was black. It is a shame we don’t see more of him
Unless this gets a million times better than it doesn’t hold a candle to shows like “Game of Thrones”. It’s not in the same league by a long shot. The visuals are great, the monsters look cool, but I don’t see a whole lot of depth or an interesting story yet.
Juan Juri oh please. Yes season 8 didn’t live up to expectations but don’t kid yourself, it’s in the top 5 shows of ALL TIME. It’s right up there with Breaking Bad
@@ckotcher1 lmao I guess. I wouldn't use that as a reason to make that comment. But sure. Personally I never liked game of thrones. I never saw the hype. And I honestly don't see the comparisons.

The show is not an original piece of work and is not about racism. The show is clearly meant to pay homage to the mystery school system and philosophies, by using real people and loosely translated events from antiquity, like the teachings of Nimrod, his wife and alleged offspring...Nothing new under the sun.
I only saw the first 15 min of the first episode, and i was puzzled, does the show have actually anything to do with HP Lovecraft or is this just using its name, because I sure as hell do not see it. And i feel I was right. This garbage is produced by Jar Jar Abrams, that typically throws a bunch of plot turds at the wall and never actually creates a cohesive story.. so.. good luck with this show making any sense what so ever. So Lovecraft country is a metaphor for a racist country of monsters that are like the klan?
@@President-Ratman Jordan Peeler is involved. Nuff said. When is the last time you saw a show that focused on the "real horrors" where the races are switched? Trash
@@jimmyjuggles1 the show itself is good. For all of American history black People have been under the thumb and control of white People. Jay Jay abrams was also involved and his Ratio is a good bit worse then Jordan Peels
its not about color its about acting.... it shouldnt matter what color you are if you cant act then you shouldnt get the part why does anyone actually care what color or race they are?
Started strong but falld flat on its face in episode 2. A travesty of a series that stole from the source material and mutated it into an abortive monstrosity that should NOT exist. Read the book...it is perfection. HBOs attempt is disgusting the way they perverted it. So sad...
I wonder how long it's going to take for people to find out H.P Lovecraft was extremely racist and put his racism in his books and then the show gets canceled. Enjoy it while you can, cancel culture may not be far behind.
@Bacons Strip that's why they're called "extreme". That also means they are a vast minority so they can call for things but most likely nothing will happen.
Massachusetts is not a southern state! The idea that this doesn't take place in The South IS VERY IMPORTANT!

If you think this was trash tv I couldn’t imagine what you would call perfect
@@President-Ratman Jordan Peeler is involved. Nuff said. When is the last time you saw a show that focused on the "real horrors" where the races are switched? Trash
@@jimmyjuggles1 the show itself is good. For all of American history black People have been under the thumb and control of white People. Jay Jay abrams was also involved and his Ratio is a good bit worse then Jordan Peels
@UC1BoFb0rWUR5T8RdiIobE3w why would you hope a show is unsuccessful? Have you even watched it?
@@President-Ratman i would say "under the thumb" is a debatable statement.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jurnee Smollett is *SO HOT* she makes me weak at the knees. Great actress, great beauty - what's not to like...
♥️♥️✌️✌️
Best guide is don’t watch..
ha cancelled
I was thinking about giving this show a chance and watch it...... ..... ..... .. then they said the mastermind of Star Wars.
its not about color its about acting.... it shouldnt matter what color you are if you cant act then you shouldnt get the part why does anyone actually care what color or race they are?
Because shit happens based on race and color...
Started strong but falld flat on its face in episode 2. A travesty of a series that stole from the source material and mutated it into an abortive monstrosity that should NOT exist. Read the book...it is perfection. HBOs attempt is disgusting the way they perverted it. So sad...
How can it steal from the source material when it’s based on it?
@ and that is your opinion. The book is way better than the show...it is a train wreck. That is my opinion. Isn't America great.
I wonder how long it's going to take for people to find out H.P Lovecraft was extremely racist and put his racism in his books and then the show gets canceled. Enjoy it while you can, cancel culture may not be far behind.
They addressed it in the show. And Lovecraft didn't write the novel this was based out
@Bacons Strip that's why they're called "extreme". That also means they are a vast minority so they can call for things but most likely nothing will happen.
