I prefer Lovecraft proper. Ten times better than this sanitized and self-congratulatory trash. Do you mean that you prefer HP Lovecraft, or that you mean you prefer the novel that this tv show was based on? I meant H.P Lovecraft. I never read the book this show was based on.

I just finished watching the whole series, with the finale last night. Jurnee Smollet, Michael K Williams were so good. Part of what made the series good was their chemistry and onscreen relationship. Aunjanue Ellis was so good too. Even the few times the plot went places I couldn't follow, I so enjoyed just watching it. The episode set in Korea was riveting! I just watched the finale last night. I agree with your take on the series as a whole. The finale episode felt kind of rushed compared to a lot of the rest of the series. A lot seemed to have been crammed into that editing kaleidoscope of images of different characters with dramatic music playing. I also would have preferred if the final scene (the one with Diana and Christina) had had more of a redemptive, rather than retributive, feeling to it. Interestingly, I see that that episode has the lowest IMDb rating of the show, so maybe a lot of other people who otherwise liked the show overall had similar feelings.

It's been cancelled. I bet it wasn't diverse enough.

I enjoyed the show. I think it worked best as a mini-series though. I don't feel a second season was needed.

So I take it it works as standalone? Basically yes. There are no giant cliffhangers. There are a few things they leave open ended tho. Personally I think it worked well as a mini-series. Season 1 covers all of the book it was adapted from. The book was written with an ending. Season 2 would have been completely new material.
