Folio SwamiAug 8, 2022
Gaiman is good. I can't speak of the adaptation, as I could not be bothered to check out the comics. But, by current standards, the story is very good. It has holes, but overall the story goes smooth. I can see the roots of *American Gods* in *The Sandman*. The casting is good. The acting is smooth. The designs are beautiful, and I guess the merit goes to the artist that drew the comics. Most writers today just go one more. Like the mobster in *Casino*, if you attack th… Read more
e character with a knife, the character will bring a gun. Nothing special. Gaiman goes some place else. So bad he has given up writing. Take for example the fight in Episode 4. I have never seen something like that. I'm not saying it wasn't done, but it's different by current writing standards.

Most woke show I have seen so far with horrible and politically chosen casting. It feels like it was made by some drag queens and leftist politicians. Horrible...

Another show ruined by modern writers. Don't get me wrong, story is OK, acting is good and many more good things ruined by wokeness. That's why I gave it score 5/10, otherwise it wood be 8/10.

Very good special effects (for Streaming/TV viewing), and good story line with good characters. (wait for it...) TOO BAD, it's attached thoroughly to a sinisterly liberal wagon. If you don't know what I mean, just think of everything that ruins a show for someone who is NOT gay, overweight w/colored hair, body piercings, unconcealable tattoos, and insufferably annoying. I made it to the episode where the Sandman got his ruby back, but then I had to let the show go.… Read more
That re-writing John Constatine into a self-serving closed minded assho-- I mean, gay woman in her late twenties, was abysmal. The diner scene was just as god-awful in writing, if not theme. I wasn't even happy when the Sandman finally got his ruby back; just relieved I no longer had to keep watching the show. It really is a shame how ludicrously far the writing in Hollywood as fallen behind or under intersectional politics & woke agenda. smh
