AAAHHH IT’S FINALLY HEEEERE OMG OMG OMG

@BloodAngel Neil Gaiman has been involved in 100% of this process and wrote most of the scripts, I believe. It’s not every day that you get an author that’s allowed to also write the screen plays scripts.

Me, watching the first episode: I like this show, this is great!
Me, watching the second episode and sobbing my eyeballs right out of my skull: I don’t like this show any more

[crawfish]

@GF Did you read the comics? IT GETS WORSE.

[GF]

@crawfish The comics never really moved me much. I enjoyed their literary skill but wasn’t invested in the characters.

[BloodAngel]

@crawfish Indeed.

[BloodAngel]

@GF I love the way they did Cain and Able. I love it all. GOLDIE!

[GF]

@BloodAngel Yeah, no complaints there. Plus it’s nice they look Middle Eastern instead of Caucasian.

[crawfish]

@GF I love all the changes. Including the one -lack- of murder.

[BloodAngel]

@crawfish 24/7 was perfect!

[GF]

@BloodAngel 24/7 is the WORST EPISODE EVER because I know I recognize who plays Judy but nothing on the internet says who and I BLAME THE SHOW FOR THIS

(I haven’t gotten around to Googling the names of each of the credited actors yet. I’ll figure it out.)

[BloodAngel]

@GF LOL. She will be revealed the internet finds all!

That issue changed my life. It was the first time I read something in horror that truly gut-punched me. The show once again did the same!

My husband came home from work for his lunch shortly after I watched the second episode. And because I didn’t want to share spoilers with him, as I knew he was going to watch it as soon as he finished his shift, the only way I could explain to Insomniac what was wrong and why I was crying at my laptop was by announcing “Morpheus and I are having an argument. We are not friends right now.”

I watched that episode right before going to the gym, so I had to explain to my trainer he wasn’t pushing me too hard, just a cartoon dream wizard broke my heart.

[Aria]

@GF It definitely did not help that my senior dog was sitting at my feet while I was watching. “Broke my heart” is the right phrase.

On an unrelated note, does anyone else feel like they did Gwendoline Christie dirty with the hair and costuming? She is so statuesque and stunning, but I feel like every scene with her just involved a shapeless robe made by the high school theater production’s costuming mom and the world’s dumbest haircut, to the point that it was distracting.

[GF]

@Aria Nah, that was deliberate. They wanted to present Lucifer as androgynous since the Devil does not have a crotch, which I honestly don’t think they committed hard enough to pull off (and I’m very curious how-slash-if they plan to dress her for an adaptation of that beach scene in later issues of the story). I do kind of think they should have found another enby for the role if that was their desire,* but I will say she does stress me the eff out wondering what Lucifer will do to people.

*Rimshot. Speaking of Desire, I need to check names, because I’m almost positive the person playing Desire in the show voices Desire in the audiobook.

[Aria]

@GF Ohh, I realized they were going for androgynous, and I’m totally down with that. But there’s androgynous and then there’s just badly dressed and I feel like they did the latter when they could’ve given us, like…

(

Or (with a different top)…

Or my personal favorite:

Though that last one overlaps with Desire a fair bit.

Mostly, I just really, really hate what they did with her hair. It’s so unflattering and she’s just wonderful. Sigh.

[BloodAngel]

I’m mad! So mad! Finished it I NEED SEASON 2!

I loved it!

[lordbelh]

@BloodAngel Seen up until 24/7 so far. I like it so far. I don’t know if I love it, but I definetly like it.
