Please let nothing bad happen to Dee! The dread of these opening scenes is also of a particularly queasy kind. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone 12/30/2020
Lovecraft has tended to be at its strongest when blending human monstrosity with the supernatural kind. "Jig-a-Bobo" has that combination in abundance. Go to Full Review Sean T. Collins Decider 10/20/2020

The best episode since the pilot, utilizing real-life events to fuel the horror elements of the story. Go to Full Review Jean Henegan Pop Culture Maniacs 12/30/2020
Easily the most pure horror of the eight episodes of the series thus far, "Jig-a-Bobo" was utterly terrifying and horrific to watch before even taking into account the creepy dancing girls with long nails stalking Diana around the city.
