I'm taking my time with this series so I can enjoy it.  It really takes me back to reading the comics.  It is very faithful and aside from Patton Oswald voicing the raven I have no complaints.  I'm on episode 7.  Hopefully they run this series long enough to cover all of the material! I recommend this series to everyone, whether you have read the comics and are a Neil Gaiman fan or not.  Great TV and great storytelling.

When you get through with this read my spoiler.  It's nothing big but it's some differences I noticed.

The one holding his amulet/Ruby John Dee,  I remember him being a zombie almost and having really, really bad shit happen in that diner.

Hell was a triumvirate.  3 people made the decisions for hell, they decided not to include that during Morpheus' visit.

Was desire always Trans or ambiguous?  I remember thinking it was a She?

Death wasn't African American, it works though, I hope they make her more peppy, she was the chipper one in the comics, lol.

Delirium is supposed to be Tori Amos, right?

I am going to consult my copies and look at what you brought up.  This season is the first two graphic novels if I am not mistaken?

Yes, you are good to go on those.  Let me know what you find and if I remember anything wrong?

I knew the diner episode would be tough to watch, but they didn't actually show most of the violence. You could probably skip that one and not miss much of the story line. No way I'd get my wife to sit through that. That section alone is why I don't let my kids peruse ny Omnibus volumes.

The hell episode was great, but nothing matches the graphic novel story. Just perfection. I liked the Death episode a lot too.

I also didn't mind Matthew's voice. Thought it fit well. Overall, a great adaptation of the stories so far. I hope they get to finish them. Some great stories left.
