Also, with everything that’s been happening this year, I don’t have the same mental capacity I had in June, that I have now, to watch a lot of new shows and movies anyway. Lately, I’ve just been sticking to what I know will make me happy (aka Sister, Sister and anime). So I’m only adding the movies and tv shows I REALLY want to watch this month (October 2020) to this list.
There may be more shows and movies out there, but I’m not stressing ’em right now. If you’re going through a lot right now, I suggest you do the same. Find a show/movie you really love and just stick to that for now.

Lovecraft Country – Already Streaming **Must Watch**
Okay, so Lovecraft Country came out in August, but since episodes get posted weekly, not uploaded all at once, I’m here to remind you once again – WATCH THIS SHIT!
It’s that simple! It’s unbelievably dope, and it keeps me on my toes the entire time! If you’re not a fan of horror, please read my review of episode 1 and 2. I’ve never mentioned a show or movie more than once in any of my monthly “watch list” posts, so take this recommendation very seriously and watch it!

Vance) on a road trip from Chicago across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father Montrose (Michael Kenneth Williams). Their search-and-rescue turns into a struggle to survive and overcome both the racist terrors of white America and monstrous creatures that could be ripped from an H.P. Lovecraft paperback.
LOVECRAFT COUNTRY is executive produced by Misha Green, J.J. Abrams, Jordan Peele, Bill Carraro, Yann Demange (who also directed Episode 1), Daniel Sackheim (who also directed Episodes 2 and 3) and David Knoller (executive producer on Episode 1); based on the novel by Matt Ruff.
