![]() 6 was a great episode ![]() I’m not sure how many episodes are left for me, maybe 1 or 2. This show is a real mix for me, primarily because I think they could have done a much better job casting the lead. Primary gripe is that he always looks bored, and has a toothache. Seriously, he has no real screen presence or intensity. Other than that, the story is interesting, the visuals are fantastic, and the majority of the actors are doing a great job ![]() |

![]() in the graphic novels his speech bubbles were black with white text iirc. And yes, the char in the novels actually is very close to the actors performance in the tv show. That being said my guess would be that most people never had access to the graphic novel. It's understandable that those might have problems understanding what the hell is going on.

![]() No doubt. And maybe gaiman made a mistake in not sexing up morpheus a bit to make him more appealing in the TV format. (Tom ellis's lucifer is a hell of a lot more charismatic that the source material.) I am just saying, the actor is doing his job. Any actor that was taking direction would end up with a similar performance. Entirely possible that gaiman is intending for the character to evolve as things move forward, as his outlook changes, etc. Seems very likely to me that this is the most extreme version of his aloof personality and it will change

The graphic novel is considered one of the greatest written, alongside The Watchman. Both were considered unfilmable for a long time. While not perfect, the watchman movie did a pretty good job, and the hbo series spinoff was excellent too. Sandman had many false starts as a movie that generally fell apart as studio execs started messing with it to try to keep to their formulas. Probably something similar to The Dark Tower would have been the result if it had moved forward. Series format with the author given a lot of leeway to do things thier way is pretty much the only way it could work. ![]()

![]() Caught up with Peaky Blinders season 6. I was under the impression that season 6 would be the actual end of the Peaky Blinders story, but apparently there's a movie coming up. So the somewhat open ending is not what I had set myself up for. Regardless, I've loved the show from start to finish.

![]() Finished Sandman episode 5. Geez, this episode we well written. Spectacularly well written. So episode 5 concludes the material from Preludes and Nocturnes, which is the first book... Basically a season finale, stuck right in the middle of the season. I suspect that the next 5 episodes will cover the 2nd book. So squeezing in 2 books per season? Sounds like a good plan. The first 5 episodes were perfectly paced. The first 2 books have always been my least favorite in the series. I always felt like it took awhile for the series to find it's way. I'm really impressed with how strongly the show is handling even the weakest material... Can't wait to see what they do when they get to the good stuff. At this pace, we can expect season 2 to get through book 4, which is one of my very favorites. Netflix usually runs these things on a 2 year schedule, so it'll be a bit, but that's still very exciting. |

![]() Episode 6... Great episode. As I suspected they truncated stories, but at least the stories were alluded to

![]() Watched two episodes of Sandman, seems pretty good. It's nice to see something new on netflix that isn't mediocre or outright garbage. |
