I was on vacation with The Missus this past weekend and happened to turn on the TV when episode 7 of this show was on. I have not seen any other episodes. So I'm gonna recap what I saw.
First, a white lady is doing Mythos-adjacent stuff, turning bodies into potions which allow her to transform and have sex with someone. The sex was in a previous episode. This was maybe two minutes of material, and is pretty much it for the episode as far as Cthulhu-style stuff goes. Nothing like getting all that dull, boring Lovecraft-related material out of the way right at the start, eh?
Then we have about twenty minutes of uninteresting (to me) character building. Maybe a half hour. Moving on because I don't want to rag on it. Just wasn't my thing.
Main character appears to be a female Sheldon Cooper and can do extremely complicated math in her head. We know this because math appears in the air. She's futzing with a machine. There are numbers that appear to be spatial coordinates, which show up a lot. I mean a LOT. Oh no! The police arrive because she is not supposed to be there. There is a fracas, the police shoot the machine which opens a gate and nobody had to sacrifice POW to do so. Or maybe the police did. I don't know. One got sucked into a random gate location, the other is shot and killed by the husband.
She gets sucked into the gate and winds up on Distant Alien Planet. Giant aliens in admittedly cool dark Iron Man and/or Tron (do kids today understand Tron? Let's just go with Iron Man) armor capture her, which is probably for the best when one is on an alien planet with no way of returning home.
Main character is thrown into a jail cell, where she finds herself totally nekkid but quickly finds clothes. Alien shows up without the Iron Man helmet, and turns out the alien is female and has the biggest, pointiest afro you've ever seen. It defies physics. Main character tries to math her way out and starts tearing up the cell and the table she was on. Sections of the table float because Space.
Alien woman shows up again and puts a stop to that nonsense, then sends the main character back in time without the benefit of DeLorean or Michael J. Fox, back to Paris in umpty ought something. She's doing a burlesque dance with a bunch of other women. They get topless, she doesn't because she doesn't know the steps and was already completely nude earlier. Time passes and her dancing improves. No further nudity. Main character talks about how she hates white men and wants to kill them (that isn't paraphrasing, she actually says the words "I hate white men and want to kill them"). She gets sent further back in time to learn how to better kill white men, then gets to kill a bunch of Confederate soldiers with a sword.
She then returns to outer space in a very "what the 1950s thinks is the future" spaceship and outfit (complete with floating hoops) and has an I'm Every Woman, It's All In Me moment.
For the benefit of the show, I'm going to assume the aliens were the Great Race of Yith appearing in a form she'd appreciate. It is a very generous assumption, and warranted by absolutely nothing that I saw apart from "sent other character into the past."
So that was the episode. Even more damning than being openly hostile towards my attention, you have a show called Lovecraft Country that can't be bothered to show me one fucking monster in an hour episode. I don't think that is too much to ask.
