EP 7 through 10 was plot driven, [/b]

Either the director is an amateur or he/she tried an experiment which wasnt really successful. Even if 7-10 was plot- driven, you can just abandon the plot from episode one and then dump it on us in ep. 7, there should be continuity so the viewer doesnt feel like he/she is watching another show( cos that's how I felt) .

The Sandman


The entire season one felt like two shows to me. The first 5 or 6 episodes could have been called season 1 and I would have been okay with it.

That 7 - 10 felt like another show, and what was it with the singing of the owner of the Bnb, I just dey fast forward.

I felt they should have started the ending story from first episode, with teasers here and there so the last 3 episode doesnt look like another show.

I do have a question though,(for those who have seen the show) did that woman had to die? Yes it was writing in her life's work that she was to be you-know-what. If the thing that makes them the 'wahala' could be removed , why couldn't it be destroyed in itself instead of her taking it in and it killing her.

I would definetly recommend the first 5 or 6 episode though.
Overall: 6.5/10,
What i think is that it can't be destroyed without it bearer, if you remember the woman was destined to be the vortex, just that desire manipulated events to make her grand daughter one. Besides the librarian already said the vortex cannot be controlled, stopped but killed, implying that they have been attempts to do it without killing

if I remember correctly, EP 1 was all about stopping the Corinthian and him wanting independence, meaning he wanted dream dead. EP 2-6 showed him trying but failing, EP 7 through 10 was him finding out that there was something that could destroy the dreaming world hence giving him the ability to physically kill dream. I would agree that song was a drag, i skipped all of it, i no get energy for d nonsense grin.
Also worth noting is either in EP 4 or 5, desire was trying to comfort their twin by causing trouble for dream. Meaning there is a plot line to close which 7-10 did, by showing it was desire all along pulling the strings, who is to say it wasn't desire that made the baron want to capture death knowing fully well dream would be d victim?

I'm all saying, the entire season 1 wasn't glued perfectly in my opinion, 1-6 felt glued together and 7-10 felt glued together. That's just my view.

Hey, I am not saying it was perfect, even i felt like it was a two parter not firmly glued together with the first half been the better half, all i am saying is that there is a plot thread linking the two halfs(desire and Corinthian). My issue is dismissing a series because of one or two gay scenes, that's not criticism but bias.

I never dimissed it cos of the gay scenes, where they unnecessary? Yes. but its Netflix, everyone should expect that from them posturing LGBTQ+ propaganda from them. I'm rating low cos the end was a letdown from the mini-finale in episode 6.

Episode 6 was more of a finale that episode 10.

I wasn't talking about you, it was the others that their only bias was because of the LGBT scenes. You gave your criticism which I read through. EP 6 was the finale no doubt but ask yourself this had it ended there, would you be as excited as you are to see a second season? EP 7 -10 was setting up a second season. Besides they haven't cast derilium, destiny and destruction

I can confirm I was more excited for a second season before episodes 7-10

As for the LGBTQ iish, there have been other shows with it...but here it was almost as if 90% of the cast was gay, trans or non binary

Funny how you don't even watch anything from Netflix yet claimed that everything they put out has LGBT written on it grin

Like I said just follow the things that is trendy and complain cheesy. That insult is basic af, only a toddler resort to insults when faced with facts, have a nice day wink
"Assumption is the mother of all fvck ups". So here you are saying I don't watch anything from Netflix just because I mention I haven't watched some shows you mentioned. Anyhow, I hope you landed on that empty head of yours when you jumped into that nonsense conclusion.

So please continue fvcking yourself. Its seem its the only thing that gives your life meaning, bloody wanker_. tongue

Aside the Gray Man, I haven't seen any of those shows or movie you mentioned. I don't even know who Ozark is because I haven't watched the show or movie he or she or it featured. So now let me tell you this my simple minded dweeb, go fvck yourself and your opinions too. Now pass off.
There was an lgbtq scene in the greyman.It was a blink and you'll miss it scene.

You are welcome.
Sex life of college girls is one of the shows i really related with, it's like watching real life college drama, like it's so real.
Sex life of college girls is what a reality show should be all about without the scripts.

Season two will be out this year, i can't wait for it.
You will enjoy Euphoria too but not as much as sex life of college girls.
Euphoria won't make you laugh like sex life of college girls but it's a good show nonetheless.
The high school on sex, is it a philipino series..

Wow, it's like you watched this series with one eye closed. I did advice you to rewatch EP 6 from the 12th - 14th minutes with loud volume. But if you don't want to lemme explain.
1. Death knew they were after her, meaning she knew her brother was captured. All the endless knew dream was captured. This was what angered him none of them came to rescue him. That was why he decided to ask Hecate rather than his siblings for help in recovering his tools back.
2. All the endless has work to do and can't interfere with one another work, though some find it fun to be a disruptor but they would never do something that will kill their siblings. Desire always know that whatever he does dream would not be harmed but he does this to provide fun for despair. Read where the actor talks about their character. The previous despair committed suicide and this current despair has suicidal tendency hence why they always plot against dream

I'm presently at episode 6 but in the comics Desire has a willingness to kill Dream (Morpheus) even tho it's for fun.
Dream and Desire have a love gate relationship.

He kinda technically succeeded tho when The Three came for Dream's head when he spilled his kin blood.

cont'd
3. In EP 6, death literally said she can't be there for everyone during their death, they will all come to her realm like how everyone comes to the dreaming world while asleep. So that's the reason she didn't take the baron plus those people are after her so why risk been captured?
4. Lucifer depicted as woman is nothing wrong unless you are all those that finds a fickle as woke, Lucifer is known to be a f***king shape shifter, so been a woman, man, snake, statue is nothing. He can be depicted as anything not compulsory a man.
So if that's why you gave the show a 6, with this four points of mine you can as well add four more points to your rating lol.

The funny thing about the Lucifer complaints and maybe Desire is that it's the non comic readers who don't know fvvk about The Sandman universe that complains Wokeness. grin grin

Lucifer is androgynous and can appear as he wants. Same as Dream. Desire is also sexless.
She acted the Lucifer role perfectly and I wasn't disappointed. I say this having read some of the original comics.

I agree that for you EP 1-6 was your definitive season ending hence your distaste for 7 upwards. But bar the increase gay scenes, aren't intrigued by what desire meant by he would draw blood or azareal wanting revenge.

C'mon you are exaggerating, only 9 people were gay in the series, the barons son and his husband, Corinthian, vortex roommate, boogieman, one of the serial killer, Johanna and her girlfriend, and the owner of the hotel. Aren't you going to complain about having sex and a child for a ghost or is it because they are straight?

i mean you can say that you didn't like the series because of the gay characters but dismissing it as trash is offensive because the show is highly comics accurate. Even some dialogue like when death was telling dream that she was there when the first life came to being and would be there when the last leaves, put the chair on the table and lock the universe. Like word for word accuracy. This is why I was highly defensive of the series. Nothing much was changed from the comics and people are still hating

Yep... So far it is mostly comic accurate. Tho some light changes like the Gargoyle being sacrificed, it was a text or book with Dreams signature I think. And the battle at hell was between the demon Choronzon and Morpheus.
Lucifer would defeat Dream in a game of wits but it's all good. grin Also it was Etrigan the Demon that welcomed Dream into hell when Flatterbloat refused him passage and trolling. Etrigan clearly led him to NADA.
It was actually 72 years of imprisonment Dream was with the Burgesses and not the over a century narrative.

So far the few changes were made for progression of the story. Comic readers have little to complain about.

I am not too keen on changing John Constantine for Johanna but I understand cos of WBs refusal to release the Chainsmoker. Jenna Coleman was perfect in that role and played the character really well. Nothing to complain of.

So far, it's peak TV.

Yeah, dream did mention it that Lucifer, the angels and the presence were the only being more powerful than they are and by miles. I did like the battle as it was all imagination, physical or magical battle Lucifer would have won.
Jenna Coleman's character was the ancestor of John since JJ Abrams has decided to lock John down. The series is really good not watchman level but a great start

I didn't care about Desire at all

As for Azareal, like I said, that took place in the last moments of episode 10 which I recommended


And how many times do I have to state that episodes 7-10 were bad...
Maybe the episodes are for set up...doesn't change the fact they are bad

I don't have complaints about the white-haired (you know who)

My issues were more plot and directing related...
Even in my review, the WOKENESS was one of the last issues I touched...

And I have no plans to read woke comics since y'all said the source material is similarly woke... surprisingly I saw statements on reddit that the comics were nowhere as woke as the show
