Now on Netflix! Is anyone else watching? I have to admit, though I've tried, I've never actually made it through all of the graphic novels.
I've watched the first two episodes, and so far am enjoying it. Lucienne is by far my favorite character introduced at the moment. She's got some sass!

So excited for this though we haven't started watching just yet. One year I gave my H an autographed set of the graphic novels, if that tells you anything about how we feel about them in this household. 😆

I'm a big Gaiman fan and love all his works that I've made it through. I'm glad that, as with Good Omens, Gaiman had a great deal of influence. He always seems to bring his worlds to life in a great way.

Not a graphic novel person but I loved the first episode. I suspect it is going to be a little violent for my taste but I’ll try to hang in there. The cast seems amazing.

Great casting and really looks and feels like a graphic novel brought to life, in the very best ways. I also appreciate when Gaiman has a direct hand in a production. He's the first one to admit when he sees opportunities that he missed previously in one of his works - the reason why there's an author's edition of Neverwhere. And Stardust the movie was definitely better than the book too.

Watching episodes 3 and 4 tonight. I like the direction this is going. Patton Oswalt as a crow is amazing. Really, the casting is incredible. So many familiar faces.

Watching episode 5 right now and OMG. This one is terrifying. Evil Remus needs to be taken down a peg.

We finished earlier this week and it was so good. My rec, if you can manage, try to watch the final 2 episodes together, the last one sort of falls flat and feels disappointing on it's own (maybe because I had long before guessed some things?).

I've been trying to do two at a time, so I'll keep this in mind. Only reason I didn't last night was because I had a lot of work to do. Since the kids went back to school this week, it's been pretty busy.

I watched the entire series in like 3 days. I couldn’t stop. The casting is incredible. Mason Park (Desire) is incredible. The actress that plays Death nailed it so well. She is my favorite. Then Desire and Gault. All brilliant. Patton Oswalt as Matthew and Mark Hamill as the pumpkin head gave me life.
I will be rewatching it very soon.

I didn’t love it as much as I wanted to. I felt it fell flat several times

I did my re-watch. I think I loved it even more the second time. The details are so good and actors are so perfect for their roles.

I finally got through the last two episodes. I loved it. Having not read the comics, I didn't know exactly how it went. I do want to know why they couldn't just destroy the "vortex" heart thingy. But Unity was over 100 years old, so she didn't likely have that many years left anyways.
I love Tom Sturridge's voice, btw.
The cat thing is awful though. Those poor kittens.
