The Sandman

Ignore the homophobic, racist and everyphobic reviews, but maybe also avoid this show. Neil Gaiman might be a good writer, but as with American Gods, the moment he gets involved with live-action adaptations, the quality apparently goes out the window. Kudos to him for defending the casting choices though. A few episodes from season 1 stand out, specifically episodes 1, 4, and 6. The rest are fine but just not worth it. The mid-season climax leaves a lot to be desired and apparently is so insignificant that it has no lasting impact on the world and no one bothers to mention it again. By the end I had lost so much interest in it that I didn't even bother to return for the bonus episode, and it allegedly has a cat. I love cats. The casting is mostly good, but there's just too many plot holes and pointless guff. Maybe season 2 will be better, who knows.

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. 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

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.
