It is very difficult to do Lovecraft right. It is simply the majesty of his writing; verbose, fussy and intellectual, simultaneously overwrought and highly restrained, that makes these stories so impactful. Pickman's Model is one of the shortest and yet packs a tremendous punch with its implacable drift toward a horrific gnosis. I had a very strong conceptualization of the "model" when I read the story, and while I can understand others creative license, the creature at the heart of this episode utterly failed. It was just a completely generic CGI critter. The music was all wrong throughout, the acting was mediocre and the fake Bostonian accents were a real detraction. I was really looking forward to this one especially and it was a total disappointment. I would suggest revisiting the scene where Ofelia encounters the Pale Man in del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth to see how this might have been done, using practical effects, for a much greater impact. The weirdness, the uncanniness, and the sheer menace of the model should have been more like this. Del Toro provided his own model for Pickman's Model, but they missed the cue.
