Perfect

This was a trip I didn't see coming. The art is gorgeous, the story compelling, and the setting wonderful. I am hooked.

Gaiman's concoction of a humble and brooding Lord of Dreams as the protagonist is writen so intelligently. The characters he comes across are interesting, and all this with the narrative pacing set just right.

Honestly, I watched the show and loved it so I knew most of the plot points going in. Overall, the story was so compelling and weird and I thought it was cool. The only thing that kind of threw me was the gritty DC art style at times, loved the character designs tho.
