♦ Fuego ♦ Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 It's...ok. I far preferred the original writers. The author Neil Gaiman said it didn't matter, but there is clearly a difference in quality. They lost actors Kristin Chenoweth (Ostara/Easter) and Gillian Anderson (Media), and seem intent on introducing as many new characters as possible without really creating much depth. Thor/ came and went in one odd show. The New Media is a good character, more modern. They already started setting up the end, so I assume they will either finish with this season or maybe have one more. It has diverged from the book rather a lot at this point, but carries the same themes. They are spending a lot of time on racism in this season, probably because the original monologue by Mr. Nancy had a profound effect on many blacks who watched the show. They want to keep that audience stoked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellnamed Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I kind of gave up after season 1, which was hit or miss for me. I love the book though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♦ Fuego ♦ Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Now that season 2 is over (and what a chaotic season it was), Gaiman is getting the director of Dexter to do the last season and wrap it up. Even he admitted that they need better storytelling, and a director with a clear vision and goal. I think I already see how the Laura/Sweeney part of it will play out, but won't go into that here. Ooh, I just hate waiting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
