Speaking to Comicbeats about his character, star Majors said: “Tic contains so many multitudes. He is a man of intellect, of heart and of his body, so, he works and moves through this 10- hour canvas with that.
“And because of the world, he’s been put into, he’s also a son, a lover, a soldier, an adventurer, in addition to being a Black male.”
He continued: “Atticus has so much emotion and hurt inside of him.
“When he gets to a place where the hurt is right in his face, that is a different type of fear for him. That is man vs. self.
“Ultimately, I think that’s what Atticus’s journey is about, Atticus vs. Atticus and dealing with his own s***.
“In those moments where he allows his heart to break, that’s where he begins the rotation to the man that he’s going to be.
“He does that periodically throughout the ten episodes and even at the end of this story, there’s still more he can learn.”
Much like Get Out, Lovecraft has parallels to contemporary society particularly in light of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Viewers can expect plenty of social commentary from the time as well as a fair few scares.
