If this show doesn't rack up during award season. Im going to be angry
It's Really Spectacular
18 Emmy Nominations after the show was CANCELLED. 😠
Michael K Williams is probably one of the greatest actors of all time.
I agree! Everything that man does is gold 🥰
He's so good!!
Word! Rip Michael!
😩
Indeed
Love to Michael K. Williams. So much strength, courage and leadership in black men. Love to see everyone lifting him up.
I love that Michael acknowledged that Christina really did care about Ruby lol Wunmi was in denial about their relationship. Once Christina said “the words may have come out of William’s mouth but they were mine” and Ruby stayed Ummm yea that’s it y’all in an official situationship 😂
But she killed Ruby...
Christina was transactional, she was mostly selfish in her aim to reach immortality.
i hate how there relationship ends in tragedy...and the hurtfullest this is that i say it coming..
Forreal girl 👏🏾👏🏾 dysfunctional in that their self interest came first so it could never be healthy love but yeah, it was real lool
Yeah but then he went into immediate denial about Montrose's sexuality which is explicitly apparent in the writing. I mean, it's his character but the text is there.
Whoopi Goldberg said she done a show that mentally took her years to get over. Michael B Jordan said the same thing. I use to think actors would do a scene no matter how heavy it was and it didn't affect them. LoveCraft Country was emotional for the actors as it was for us the viewer. Michael's left nothing on the table in episode 9 especially during his monolog. I imagine the set being very quiet as he read the names of some of the people who died during the Tulsa Massacre. I'm tearing up now just thinking about that stirring performance.
So much trauma from the green book to the death of Emmett till
Whew what a beautiful cast! That Jonathan Majors....look at what melanin can do! Good lorddddtttt!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yes indeed Jonathan Majors, LaKeith Stansfield and the late and great Chadwick Boseman!!! Fine as nobody's business. God Bless that melanin!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Beautiful, emotional interview! Micheal had me in tears!!
Yes
I completely agree with Aunjanue. I've been waiting for black people to be shown in all types of genres...not just comedy or romance or slavery but science fiction, horror, suspense, and living in their own world with their truth instead of being a sidekick or an unimportant character to be discarded.
I wanted more time with Uncle George. The scene in Korea was shot so beautiful in the snow.
This show broke all boundaries
Rest In Peace Michael Kenneth Williams. My first image was this panel when you showed your courage, your vulnerability for black history, for time, for growth, for art. It showed me just a glimpse of who you are as a human, and I will never forget this.
The fact that they literally have gotten so close that they are now a family makes me sooo happy. I want to one day find my family this way ❤️💪🏾💯
The Tulsa episode and the Leti helping the ghost transition were my favorite episodes!!!
Both made me cry like no other. I felt that “get the fuck out my housssse!”
Michael is such a beautiful human being. Omg! How deep...so much depth. I hope he always makes it back up after swimming in his vulnerability. So grateful for an actor like him.
This is literally the best interview I have ever seen. The love, the honesty, the vulnerability. Truly transformative.
I'll be praying faithfully for a season 2. This show is so epic and needed for the culture and America. It's a metaling pot of Sci-Fi, education, and entertainment elements that kept me so glued in. It's easily one of my all-time favorite shows ever!!
Michael talking about his mental health near the end is really haunting. He literally SAID what was going on with him. God bless his soul!!
Lmaoooo at Jonathan being frozen. Still fine :)
Well, by the end I was also crying.
Micheal I could see he was still dealing with some deep pain but with grace. RIP in peace and bless his your soul job well done. King❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was a beautiful interview. This show really was everything and I appreciate each of these actors sharing their gifts ❤️
People were sharing clips of Michael K. Williams sharing the personal impact of his character, Montrose. I needed to come back and watch the full interview again. The entire cast was superb. While watching the show I cried hard tears. I sat on the edge of my seat with my pillow and bowl of popcorn warning Leti and Atticus to watch out! I cheered for Diana. Ruby and Christina took me on a roller coaster ride and stilettos will never look the same way to me again. I wanted to be Hippolyta! Every episode was superb. Lovecraft Country is one of my favorite all-time television shows. This interview shows why this cutting-edge Black historical horror sci-fi touched us so deeply. The actors understood their assignment. This was more than saying your lines and using the proper facial expressions and inflections. They pulled from their Ancestral memories to bring these characters to life. I am grateful.
wish abbey lee was here as well. what an amazing cast
40:53 Michael's words - incredible!!! Miss him terribly already!!!
PLEASE BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!
Aunjanue Ellis - Hippolyta. You are my joy to watch in motion. You all are.
I had this video saved in my watch later but now with the passing of the phenomenal Michael K. Williams I find it fitting embrace this with open arms. I love how vulnerable Michael was and how his co stars lifted him up and was there for him. What an artist. His passion came through each project he was apart of. Lawd knows he will me missed. Sleep in loving peace Mr Williams. Job well done ❤
Loved this but I find it really strange the way a lot of people view Tic and Jiah’s relationship as a fairytale and are able to overlook him killing her best friend, her only getting close to him to kill him in revenge and the whole violating him with her tails nearly killing him but then want to relagate Tic and Leti’s relationship to struggle love because he snapped at her a couple times during high stress situations which he acknowledged and corrected the behavior BTW, as if they have literally been fighting racist, monsters, ghost to stay alive all season long. No Leti didn’t get a movie date but she got a man that whenever anything goes down he makes sure she’s ok everybody else be damned, a man that jumped in front of a gun when it was cocked in Leti’s direction. When Leti told him her house was haunted he was right there even got possessed in the process. Tic was moments from death and all he was worried about was Leti didn’t even make eye contact with Ji-ah he literally fought to stay alive until he saw that she was safe but that that counts for nothing. Tic and Ji-ah’s was cute all 4 or 5 of it scenes but the way I see it over-hyped is puzzling that relationship could only work in that Korea bubble she came to his world (Chicago) and got her feelings hurt, then she was banished to the fam-zone.
I agree with you.I wanted to like tic and leti but their interactions were written cold and most of the time they argued or disgreed.We barely saw them be affectionate.For example,when they were separating in tulsa they didn't hug or kiss nothing he just looked at her.
With tic and ji-ah the writers took the time to write a love story and build up the relationship.
We saw them connect with being monsters,they read books,had actual conversations.They didn't write tic and leti like that so most ppl gravitated towards the romanticized version of love.The way Jonathan looked,touched,loved on ji-ah he was never that way with jurnee.We noticed the difference in treatment and didn't like it.Black women deserved to be loved on and receive affection.Especially when leti was doing so much for him and to me that energy wasn't returned.Maybe it was his acting/directing b/c he didn't convince me he loved her.
People are not taking into account that Tic and Jiah met when he was laid up in the hospital recuperating he had plenty of down time to plan dates and they got a episode that highlighted their relationship it was served up on a silver platter. Leti and Tic didn’t have that luxury they’ve been dealing with one life threatening situation after another in literally every episode. In episode one we saw Tic buy Leti the flower that she placed in her hair and he stared at her while she was asleep on his shoulder but moments later all hell broke loose, so I don’t doubt that we would have seen more of those moments if not for the circumstances. Tic and Leti had several tender moments more than he and Ji-ah considering we only saw them in about 5 scenes but Tic and Leti’s moments happened in the midst of the chaos so it wasn’t spoon fed. Do you honestly believe that if you swapped out Leti and put Ji-ah in Chicago episode 1 Tic would’ve been Mr. Romance with all he had going on? Yes they was a couple of episodes that he snapped on Leti but he never talked to her like he did Ji-ah in episode 8. Tic isn’t the same person that he was in Korea his love language has changed but I see his love for Leti in the way that he’s been willing to kill and die for her since episode 1, and in Ep 5 during the bathtub scene Tic knocked the walls he had up down, acknowledged his wrongs, acknowledged how his past relationship baggage took a toll on him and vowed to be better and when Leti said that growing up she felt love wasn’t special and that she didn’t want to to be with a man if it didn’t mean anything he looked her in the eye and told her that what they had was special and he wasn’t confused about it.
@@MsZaire What most don’t think about is the trauma of his first love being a monster. How many men would open up like that again. He wanted Leti from the first time he laid eyes on her. Most people missed the scene where he bought the flower for her and Leti put in her hair and was sleeping on his shoulder, that alone was just as sensual as the interactions he had with Ji-ah. He admitted he didn’t know love even with Ji-ah. Both admitted they had skewed views of what love was to each of them. Tic also stayed in Chicago to protect Leti. In the haunted house scene it turns black behind him when he is watching her dance with another man. The coldness after their first time was well written also. His last scene Screaming “Where’s Leti” was all you needed to see who had his heart.
Oh brother. Shippers and their tunnel vision. First off, if you don't think fairy tales are fucked up, you've only been seeing the Disney version and I encourage you to do some research on the original fairy tales, the blood and pain that is in them and the symbolism. Second of all, it's Letitia Fucking Lewis to you and she doesn't need a man to make sure she's ok.
@@BadFluffy your right about Leticia not needing a man to make sure she's ok but the writers decided to put her in a relationship with a man in my opinion didn't deserve her loyalty or care and many ppl noticed that.The writers intentionally wrote what I call a "struggle love" story that is common with black women characters in t.v./movies.I expressed my disappointment with the writing.Others saw it differently and didn't see an issue.
I LOVE THIS my heart hurts with them 😭😭😭😭 Hearing them talk about their respective characters made me feel like wow this is LOVE. The way Michael starts bawling and Vance is saying amen..... and Jada especially surprised me with her poise and just like deep understanding of the character at a young age.
Heck even hearing the interviewer turn off his “impartial journalist” voice to really say thank you to them..... aaaaa my heart 😩
Amazing cast! Especially Michael is such an incredible actor with also a very sensitive mind. I'm glad that he found shelter do deal with that. Beside I loved the way he read those scenes and characters.
The cast is absolutely beautiful! I am so proud of everyone🖤
LoveCraft Country was the best show on tv. And I dare say there are movies that couldn't compete with this show. Bravo to ALL involved in this fantastic piece of art.
rest in power Michael. you were so special.
*GEORGE* Honestly was My Fav part of the Entire show, now Looking back
So Naturally *BLACK,* Unapologetically *BLACK* [ yet that Sundown town TRUTH...the entire time...STILL NOW..]
So Himself!
Never Seen that before in such a Leading Scifi role, So Proud!
Unapologetically AWESOME!! Thank you Host and Cast for sharing your gifts, I am moved beyond what I knew!! Lovecraft Country was everything I waited for! ❤️❤️❤️
I already love this show but watching this has endeared me to it even more! Amazing!
Can you believe Jamie Chung came from MTV's The Real World? Excellent acting.
Right!
This is a must see for every Lovecraft Country (HBO) fan! This show on screen changed many of our lives but to know what it did to each of you was golden. Thank you for gifting us with your talents and this interview. Misha Green, HBO.....we need more seasons!!!
The end is Avengers?? Nah boo, it’s the crucifixion.
Man what? I thought I was the only one who looked at it like that man 😩 this show really opened my soul 🥺
This cast is so beautiful ugh 🖤
Lovecraft Country is everything...y'all just don't know. All I can say is bravo!
This is The True Definition of Power! I loved this show for so many reasons. Beautiful job all of you !
I'm glad to see "Diana" join the conversation. I also saw "Christina" participate in the last discussion, but there wasn't much for her to add so she was quiet most the time unless there was a direct question.
Trisha Collymore Yes this is definitely the convo Abbey/Christina should've been at, to share her thoughts on the Ruby/Christina relationship, and, at one point in the story, I think it was when Tic asked Christina to teach him how to 'spellcast', where she calls him 'cousin, and, her love for Ruby, makes the character actress, 'Abbey cool with me..
Great interview. Don't think it was the tears but the intelligence of these individuals grabbed me.
So so good!! I’ve never seen anything like it! Thank you so much to everyone involved 🖤
Ps Season 2 please!!!!
Wow, wow, wow! This show was so amazing. Thank you to the cast for the brave and true work. So moved. Bravo!
Thank u Michael for all u gave us so transparently. We who love u are forever grateful. God Bless U Brotha RIP🙏🏿❤️
So...im crying. I did not expect to receive what this interview delivered.
Best new show on TV hands down! Should win ALL the awards! Thank you cast, crew, Mischa and Jordan Peele. Lovecraft was a racist and you all reclaimed our power. Let us continue to decolonize our history. We are the heroes of America. My deepest gratitude! I’ll find a way to make this show a course that I teach for real for REAL✊🏾
This show is one of my favorite things about 2020! EVERYTHING about this show is AMAZING! The writing, the acting, the clothes, the music, the history lessons we learned was powerful. Well done to everyone involved!!!
This was truly a beautiful gathering of the cast from one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen in my life. The genius behind all that were involved is absolutely incredible. I don't think I've ever been this anxious to watch the "next episode" as I have with this one. This is one for the history books. If you don't like horror then just close your eyes on the scary parts but this is a must watch in my book. Dare I say almost potentially life changing. We must see the good, the bad and the ugly and learn from it and this show does it wonderfully.
The show was so deep. These artists had no choice but to be vulnerable and honest about the project.
Beautiful cast. I couldn’t help but she’s tears with them. This show is so groundbreaking ❤️
What an emotional and beautiful interview. So happy all the actors were able to talk so in depth about their experiences. Jada is definitely my favorite. She was able to gain so much awareness. To learn from fellow actors of color who she can lean on and learn from is a hell of an experience to get at a young age and a very rare/ special one at that.
I LOVE THE SHOWWWWWWWWW
I love this show! Beyond normal or what I would usually watch, but incredible work! Everyone, and I absolutely mean, EVERYONE was phenomenal in this show! Johnathan Majors is on his way to be a “Denzel” type figure.
Michael K... Gotdamn! This guy pushed the needle like a mofo in this show and did an incredible fucking job!!
Journee...
Man, look! I can go on and on about this show and how great the cast was...
Great show, great actors & actresses, and GREAT PERFORMANCE!!
This is my favorite cast of any show I’ve ever seen. Well, second after Martin. Hahaha.
Love!
Lmao Courtney B. Vance came with the jokes
So it looks like everyone but me knew "Ruby" had an accent, really messed me up. This interview gave me all the feels. All of this the show the interview, it all just makes me soo very proud.
I think it's a testament to her acting. Honestly she had that strong black chi town swag, even her mannerisms and movements. She blew me away.
I need Jonathan majors in my life.
One of the best show’s of the year ♥️ great amazing interview
Lovecraft Country made me okay with no Underground Season 3. Okay. Not true. I’m still bitter about that. I’ll get over it one day.
Misha has “a way” that shows up on every single thing she touches. And the diversity and complexity of this cast makes me so happy.
Misha is AMAZING! I have never seen some of the things she has put on the screen EVER. The Black resistance to white oppression was/is awesome to see and I love and appreciate it.
I thoroughly enjoyed Lovecraft Country. The best show this year.
Absolutely amazaing, beautiful and emotional to witness. Amazing cast and presenter
I love all of these people!
Watching this move me so.....thank you for sharing, im also looking for my tribe, family......im feel very alone without a family and or to share a relationship, a bond
I am living in my car trying to figure out what move i need to make next.......this will pass .....thank you for sharing your energy
Praying for you!
Hang in there. You are a wonderful part of this Lovecraft tribe and we love you 💛 Stay strong... this too shall pass
Your tribe is here. Sending strength and abundance to you.
SENDING LOVE AND LIGHT!!! YOU CAN AND WILL MAKE THROUGH!!! ❤💛💚
I am just now binging the series. I am on ep 7. Each episode has so much to unpack that I wait to watch the next one. Like reading a great book.
My heart hurts seeing Michael break down knowing that he is no longer with us RIP🙏🏾
✊🏿❤️🙏🏿🔥🙌🏿😭💪🏿 all the things .. All the feels. So grateful for this show and the conversations that it opened up and mirrored for us
Perhaps the greatest show I've seen in years!!!!! Still not over it!!!!!!!
This is the epitome of a freakin-PHENOMENAL CAST!!!! Like seriously??!!! Each character is an entity in itself- I AM LITERALLY IN AWE OF THE ENTIRE CAST!!!! I feel honored to even watch this interview. I hope all of cast knows and understands how monumental LOVECRAFT is. I am re-watching the season again. I appreciate the backstory on each person who touches LOVECRAFT. And that MISHA GREENE????????? THANK YOU AND WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Your VISION????? LITERALLY OUT OF THIS WORLD
Look at the color on display in this cast...just beautiful to witness.
Jaime Chung, Wunmi, Abbey Lee and Jordan Patrick are truly award worthy in their portrayals. Episode 8 was pure art. Jaime Chung is stunning. This entire ensemble cast is phenomenal. Who knew Courtney B. Vance was sexy???!!!! Absolutely incredible show with phenomenal acting. Y’all should be so proud of what you created.
Watching this now is extremely emotional. They went through so much creating this masterpiece and selfishly I was upset it wasn’t coming back!! Rip Michael K. Williams 💔💔💔
All the LOVE CRAFT interviews with The Cast have been awesome. That being said, this particular interview seems very special! Great job everyone!
I love this show and the beautiful cast. I so want another season HBO...pretty please!
Very good performances,,, Love loved...
That was hands down the best panel interview I have ever seen. Thanks SAG-AFTRA and thanks to the cast and crew for a truly great show.
❤️ LoveCraft Country❤️ Amazing cast!!!!!!! Please SEASON 2🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
The onions are KICKING my ass tuhday!
Wow. I was not expecting this. This was such a moving conversation and the show was just top-notched. I do hope that there is a continuation of this series; but if not, I am very happy with what was presented. I watched some BTS footage of the making of the show the other day. It was masterful how it was all put together, and that HBO even decided to do it. I am grateful for the makers of this show and especially the cast. They were all so amazing and authentic.
they should've had the bts longer and that tired a** finale
Awww look at them ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much SAF-AFTRA! SO SO grateful for shared moments like this one.
Oh man I was crying too at the end wowowowow
I love them all outstanding cast
Such a beautiful cast. Inside and out! I just want to send so much love to Michael K Williams. He’s such a sweet soul.
This whole cast was amazing. Every single cast member did an amazing job.
Episode 3 was my favorite 🔥🔥🔥🔥
omg why did I listen to this. got me crying like a baby!😭😭
PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE SERIES 👑
Fantastic Series. I wish it was not canceled. I hope some other network picks it up.
That was absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
I love the show!!! Hoping season 2 is on the horizon!! Bravo to the cast, writers and HBO!!!
I'm glad Jada Harris is in this interview as well. Wanting to hear from her and her fantastic performance in Episode 8!
Gripping, transcendental, brave. Bravo!!!
Can’t express enough how fabulous this show and cast are! Thank you all so much... can’t wait for season 2 (there BETTER be a season 2)! 💙😁💙
