I just finished watching this episode and thought it was great. The characters introduced in this episode were interesting enough to make me want to know where their stories will go. The episode started out a bit slow and I didn't really know where it was going (having never heard of Lovecraft Country before and knowing nothing about the story). It picked up steam in the last 2/3 of the episode and kept it going right until the very end. It did what the first episode of a series should do, which is make the viewer excited to watch the second episode. I am really looking forward to the next episode because I am really curious what will happen next.
