I just came across this on Nefflix.
I remember it was a strange comic/graphic novel when I was young, but didn’t know who Neil Gaiman was. I’m a fan now, so I am curious if this will be good. I have never read the source material, so I’m doing this series first, and then the comics.
 
SPOILERS——-
















So, in less than a decade, we have run the gamut from John Wick’s wholesale professional murder is justified if they kill your dog to it’s ok the Thanos snap your dog surrogate that is a dragon dog if it makes you more powerful.

Wut?
 
Sandman was just too weird and esoteric for me. Hellblazer or The Invisibles was about as weird as I got. And they've clearly decided to woke the heck out of Hellblazer so I'm already passing on the adaptation.

I turned it on and walked off. Came back 20 minutes later wife said it's too magicy for me, I'm barely paying attention, she's probably right.
 
On the last episode. Just finished the audiobook of the graphic novel and the story is spot on.

Every character is now either gay or inter racial couples.

I'm still enjoying it even if none of that was necessary.
 
Just finished watching it as well. Wife and I had listened to the audiobook on a road trip a bit ago so I felt obligated to watch.

I thought the audiobook was 'ok' but not great so was ready to tune out, but I found the Netflix series actually easier to follow than the book and connected some dots where I either wasn't paying attention or tuned out.

This definitely isn't something I'd recommend for everyone and is way over on the 'that was odd' scale, but I enjoyed it and the characters and story in the show were spot on with the audiobook. I haven't ever read the graphic novels beyond knowing they existed.
 
Ok, episode 6 is pretty awesome.
The Angel of death is not nearly as good as Julian Richings in Supernatural, but she is ok.
However the rest of the episode is very reminiscent of Highlander. Like a paleontologist, I dig it.

The audiobook version of Death was Kat Dennings.
 
Oh, it’s out now? My wife just mentioned hearing about it this evening and expressed interest in it.
