I was mildly optimistic about the gender swap and like Christie, but I thought she fell flat. She was neither terrifyingly menacing, nor beautiful (two specific descriptors given to Lucifer), and just came across as matronly. Her voice acting in the "game" was good, though, but it is hard to see how Dream left that encounter scared of Lucifer or worried about going back to face Lucifer (as he is at the beginning of Seasons of Mists)I thought Gwendolyn Christie was an interesting choice for Lucifer that ended up working out better than I thought it would.
I know that is a complaint some people have (and that Death should appear younger than Dream, though she is older). But that didn't bother me. The black tank top and the Ankh were enough for me, and the actress did Death's personality and relationship with Dream perfectly. This was a home run in my opinion.The girl they cast as Death nailed it, but I wish they leaned into the goth look for her. Sandman’s Death is a goth icon and it really would only take some tweaks to her makeup and wardrobe.
Almost exactly how I feel
I agree the first couple of episodes were slow, but the diner episode was well done.
The first story in the graphic novel series was never my favorite either. So I expected as much going into the show. The graphic novel hadn’t found its voice at that point.
People who never read the series are going to be in for a treat moving forward.
Waaaay too long.the diner episode was well done.
Waaaay too long.
They dragged that out. It could have been half the show while cutting to something else in between.
Yeah it wouldn't work without it being the only story. You need that buildup of tension. The slow build up of horror as you realize what's going on is pretty much is the entire story.
Either it works for you or it doesn't. I can see why people wouldn't like it.
