      I don't know if I would call it 'good tv' but I am enjoying Warrior on HBO Max. I was always a Bruce Lee fan as a kid and Enter the Dragon is of course on my top ten due to this.

      Why wouldn't you? It's great TV, as far as what it intends to be.

        Hnnnfffffff.

        A Poster for The Sandman cast announcement for the Netflix adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels. Mostly this matters because Gwendoline Christie is Lucifer

          @ortallus Given that Morpheus's good-old-boy misogyny is kind of an important plot point in the comics, I wonder what changes, if any, accompany Lucien being a female character now. I'm definitely not complaining that the Dreaming is less of a sausagefest now, just curious if this change implies more changes.

            Is Discovery of Witches any good? I'm not familiar with the book series.

              My partner stands by that show. I like Matthew Goode generally, but Teresa Palmer sticks out as a Kristen Stewart substitute in this vampire series.

              As for The Sandman, the cast seems a step down from the Audible books.

                @ganymede OOOO. I keep meaning to try Audible just for that, but that last half of 2020...I couldn't. I just couldn't. Not even for Sandman.

                  I have a hard time imagining liking anyone's Lucifer as much as I like Michael Sheen's, buuuuut I also have a hard time imagining disliking anyone's Death as much as Kat Dennings's, so I guess on aggregate I'm willing to give the new cast a shot.

                    Now, you see, that's where we differ. Kat Dennings' Death resonated with me, but I suppose I have a thing for sassy emo girls.

                      She sounds less sassy to me than impatient, and while I know how small and petty a thing this is to get hung up on, very few Americans, least of all her, should ever try to read the line, "I shouldn't like to say where she is."

                          @wretched Just watched the trailer and I think I hated everything about it. And I had such high hopes. 😞

                              @goblin I'm watching it but its very.... loosely based on the characters i guess. Ugh. Like, the humor is lost πŸ˜•

                                @wretched Is it at least ok if you pretend it has nothing to do with Terry's books?

                                  @goblin I'm enjoying, but it's like definitely watching a 'reimagining'.

                                    @goblin I lot of blended storylines, jokes from the books as throwaway 1 liners, etc. Like, ugh. Imma shut up before I get spoilery. Its like a weird off brand of your favorite treat.
