Lovecraft Country (HBO)
This series (limited I believe) is coming upon it's 8th episode and it is one of the best HBO has put forth, in my opinion. It is somewhat of an anthology and each episode is layered with historical references, themes and social commentary that are applicable to the modern day. Literally, every episode has something worth researching. I could easily see it becoming a staple of collegiate courses. Bottom line, I'm absolutely loving it right now!

I don't know about your college course bits, but it is an amazing show.

Can you explain your college courses bit, please? This show is based on a novel, which I am sure will be brought up in lit courses. The show hasn't done anything phenomenal or new with cinematography or storytelling. It is a solid show though.

Just because the show is based on a novel doesn't render it inapplicable as a visual tool in a variety of subjects at the collegiate level. Each episode has been loaded with a tremendous amount of offshoot historical subtext and references. Far too much to cover here, in fact.

And in terms of the depth and psyche of these characters, I do believe it is remarkably crafted by screenwriter and showrunner Misha Green. Overall, the series definitely sets itself apart from a storytelling standpoint.

It was pretty much the only option. More intersectional nonsense in the classroom with limited, or zero, practical employment application. They'll charge tuition for that course. And students will borrow money they can't repay to take it.
