Playing House

Rather than build to the dramatic heights of a conclusion it's blisteringly apparent that this once great show peaked at episode six and now we're left with a far more inferior narrative that is more preoccupied with pushing false stereotypical identity ideologies than creating exciting conflict.

It really does feel like a different show entirely. When the focus is on agendas and not story and well crafted characters, which has obviously steered away from the source material, then the audience is denied the one thing it has a right to. Entertainment.

The only thing you can do is to walk away. Which is what I'll be doing from this point on. I would not be surprised if the number of ratings for the final 4 episodes drops off significantly as others give up, as they should.

Hollywood showing yet again just how out-of-touch they are with the actualities of society.

Episode 8: Semi interesting of an episode with countless deep fantasy messages, gorgeous cinematography, average CGI and visual effects for the pleasure of eye candy lovers. Deep storyline and plots adaptation doing justice to the comics, a somewhat unrealistic and weak flow at the same time while the vibe is shinier, all the while telling the story in a mishmash way. The weakest link of the episodes so far is its convoluted, sort of slow burn storytelling, having all the bright ingredients, but sort of falling to coherently grab viewers interest.

A sort of new storyline plots related to like another show. It's moving too slow to catch viewers real attention and too dreamy unrealistic... Jed and his sister!

So much of the last 2 episodes have been set up for the next few to become something special. Most of the story is a cat and mouse story that has to play out before the finale.

To be honest this was such an average episode that im trying to remember what happened during this. For the life of me i cant remember but the feeling that i have of the episode is just waiting for the next and for this to properly take off in this second story arc of the series.

So much of the visuals are awesome and the casting of every character through out this series, apart from a few, has been spot on. If this series does ever be commissioned for season 2 i will be very happy to see the next 30 issues of the comic come to life again.

I have been up and down about this series throughout. We started with high fantasy (pf the worst sort: self-important and bland) and we have seemed to have moved on to horror ( which disappoints me because I don't like horror.) I'm still unclear about who exactly Morpheus is in relationship to the waking world. But I am only writing this to complain about one thing.... This does not vaguely resemble Florida. We'll pass over that there is no town "Cape Kennedy_ nor was there ever. But if there were such a town, it would be on one of our barrier islands. Most likely Merritt Island. There are no basements on Merritt Island. There are no hills or changes of elevation really on Merritt Island. I realize there was Covid but what would it have hurt to come out to Satellite Beach and seen what the area really looks like. This kind of inexactitude and vagary is my general take of the whole show. Everything seems just a little sloppy. Despite their best efforts (and I do think they made an honest effort) to get it right. On the other hand I just seem to be watching the whole damn thing. I am in general impressed with the acting. But I'd much rather have seen a high budget production of Neverwhere.

The show started really good. It was dark, magical, funny then for some reason half way through the season they've wrapped up that storyline and started a new one and it's not a good one. It's a complete bore. I don't feel for any of the characters because they're all new characters and Dream isn't it in it much anymore. It's very strange.
