Twin Peaks + Lovecraft, but make it woke

Something's rotten where the K-Mart used to be, and I sure want to find out what it is.

October's Children mixes the strange charm of a Lynchian small town with the creepy-things-in-our-peripheral-vision in brisk ole New England of Lovecraft, and then sprinkles pronouns on top. It's an interesting blend of horror right off the bat with quick-witted banter. I'm excited to get to know the characters better over the course of the season and to start untangling why exactly "they all die screaming."

Great production and acting, too!
