It’s here and it’s spectacular. What did you think of the first episode? Also, we had to cut out the awesome season preview at the end unfortunately. YT kept picking it up.
I enjoyed it a great deal. Not perfect, but it was the best adaptations in a string a recent adaptations put on screen. My own issue is with some of the costume designs( Lucifer and Choronzon designs were too costume-y). While I love Gwendolyn Christie, she isn't what I pictured Lucifer as. For an actress I really was thinking Tilda Swinton, though she already played one evil angel and this might be typecasting. For an actor, I was thinking Peter Capaldi, though he's a tad too old and also already played an angel, lol. After Stranger Things, Jamie Campbell Bower is a very good choice as well, but he might be a better Remiel. The other two gripes I have is the camera/filter, it's too much like that awful Sabrina show. And the score. It's serviceable but I was expecting a lot more variety, from medieval chants to Baroque to Late Romanticism to jazz and Classic Rock to R%B and post-modern electronic synth stuff, and new agey abstract stuff, since the story takes place throughout time. But it's great other than these
I enjoy they have stayed most true with the original source material. Most of these adaptations go and change award winning material just because they can.
Very good, obviously it’s not perfect but it’s a really good adaptation, especially for a comic that is very tough to adapt I think They did a fantastic job. Look forward to seeing the rest of your reactions
The benefit of letting the creator be a part of the show is that instead of it being an "adaptation", it's more like an "update". The author gets to fix and expand and add into the show with the benefit of hindsight. So we've got some changes, and enough changes so that comic fans have some surprises, but all the changes feel like good choices.
I like watching fans of the comics react to this show because I get to see you excitedly blurt out what everything is, just like I was doing when I watched
For any tv show/movie that’s adapting a previous work, the difference between seeing a reactor who is familiar with the property and one who isn’t is night and day.
The whole season is a spectacular success that I never thought could be achieve, that’s not to say it’s perfect. but it’s really well done and when it’s great it’s an absolutely wonderful show.
It has the distinct feel of a Neil Gaiman world. The cast is so amazing. Dream especially. There's just something about the performance that I immediately buy into. Like I never doubt that I'm observing one of the Endless doing his thing.
It was as beautiful,imaginative, horrifyingly dark and wondrous as I had hoped. The light in the depths of those eyes. The cosmos of dream. Stunning. Absolutely stunning.
The one thing I've learned in the Sandman universe so far. Death isn't the one should be afraid of, we should more scared of the guy who controls our dreams and nightmares.
I haven't watched the whole show but in the comics Dream says it outright, wondering why are mortals so afraid of his sister when he's much more terrifying. Death is ironically the kindest and least scary of the Endless. :P
It's great watching a reaction from people who are geeking out as much as me. I think they did a great job adapting the story to a very different medium, and I love how some shots look like they're straight from the comics.
Love the reaction! I'm so glad Neil Gaiman is an Executive Producer and assisted in adapting it for the modern day. Sure they had to extend his prison for 30 more years I like seeing it in today's world. I like to think as, with Gaiman a part of it, all the extra stuff we see, are just extra panes of the comics they couldn't fit in the limited space. Just a more complete telling of Gaiman's. I'm curious in the reasoning to forgive Alex and give much lighter punishment than in the source material, perhaps not to put the audience off. A curse of "eternal waking" while might have been interesting to see (and might have been horrific like in the source) did seem out of place for someone they seemed to be trying to humanize a little more I guess? Still happy with all of it! I DID want to hear that voice utter one of my favorite lines, Dream has some of the best language bubbles, and lines. While sitting in that chair after freeing himself and addressing Alex... ...There are offenses that are unpardonable...
I like to think it's that Alex wasn't solely evil like his father. He showed some decency, and when he fell, it was due to his own dreams of acceptance. Or it may have been that it was a gift to Alex's partner for freeing Dream. The look that's shared...his partner definitely recognized what he had done.
Neil answered this on tumblr. They did film the eternal waking but during test screenings the test audience didn’t care for alex’s fate and only wanted to know that dream gets back home, so the scene was changed.
Reading the comic before watching the series kinda knowing what is happening before it happens elevates the experience of watching this series to a different layer
I already watched season 1, there was only one episode that felt too long (not like 45 minutes but more like 4 hours). Can't wait to see your reaction too the episode with Death. It's probably my favorite episode from season 1.
I saw the preview with Death, and as soon as she started speaking, any minor doubts I might have had of her as Dream's big sister (and the most powerful of the Endless) were blown away in that moment.
The eyes man, me when I saw the cat scene and just seeing the silhouette of him sitting there with his starry eyes, I swear it's still a scene that intimidates me
As a mega fan of the comics, that little star eyes detail was one of my favorite things about Morpheus, and seeing it in the series gave me so many chills.
Hi Guys, So pleased you are reacting to this series - It's my all time favourite comic run (followed closely by the original Chris Claremont X-Men run) This was my most anticipated show for 2022 and this first season does not disappoint. This is such a beautifully crafted show, I really hope it achieves the numbers Netflix wants, so we get further seasons - gagging to see Delight / Delirium and hear Lucifers speech on the beach (so many characters are introduced in this season) hopefully we'll get to see all their stories in time. You guys are amongst my favourite reactors, mainly because to your knowledge of the lore for whatever we are watching. So glad that in my lifetime, I've gotten to see all the characters and places translated to film, where before it was in my minds eye - Mordor, Asgard and now the Dreaming.
It really is an amazing comic series. I need to collect the run in floppies. And that period of X-men is just iconic from the phoenix saga, to the outback, and the mutant massacre. Just fantastic.
is his natural body apparantly with no cgi at all, which shocked me when I heard that in an interview, just training and diet and being locked in a glass ball for 4 hour filming sets does that to you it seems.
Part of it is that they cast him for the role for quite some time before filming actually started. He wanted a physique that would perfectly match the role, so he apparently spent a number of months doing rigorous workouts while barely eating.
Love this show from tht first episode his voice, the transitions and some details from the comics they got right had me on the edge of my seat I honestly just wish they gave him black wings I feel like he would look better with wings like his sister death.
was already faling in love with your personalities and this reaction but the it crowd reference really sold me (i literally have it stuck in my head now). can't wait to see the rest of your videos
I really enjoyed this. I love both the Australian accent and the observations. Kudos to the swoosh of taffeta and how ridiculous it is. I plan a rewatch to coincide with watching the rest of this.
Why is anyone caring that the son killed his father? His father was Tywin Lannister in this story too and asked for his fate! If you asked me, old Roderick got off lucky!
I have to say, I didn’t like the changes they made to Alex Burgess’s character in this adaptation. All he wanted was assurance that Morpheus wouldn’t kill him afterwards, and he would’ve let Dream out right away. Dream chose to be an utter moron and not agree that that eminently reasonable request, and now he condemns him to an eternal nightmare? How was that supposed to make Dream look?
Great reaction guys, I thought this was a quality premiere, ya some things were changed but I felt overall it was faithful to the story and did a good job setting things up. It’s great seeing bigs fans such as you guys reacting to this and being so excited to finally see these things on screen, I’m lookin forward to the rest of your reactions for this season.
The whole season is a spectacular success that I never thought could be achieve, that’s not to say it’s perfect. but it’s really well done and when it’s great it’s an absolutely wonderful show.

I already binged the whole season. It is fantastic! Every single episode.
I wonder how many GREAT scenes this dude can ruin with his talking... :S:S

They did such a good job of making Dream look unsettling and inhuman in this episode.
Yep! The posture, the movements. So good
@@FandomZone Btw that was his body, it was not CGI'd, they talk about it in an interview
@@N_F414 wow, the commitment of these actors
I love that Paul shares that look with Dream, knowing what he did and not once does he ask for something in return. He just frees him.
I like watching fans of the comics react to this show because I get to see you excitedly blurt out what everything is, just like I was doing when I watched

@@ImVeryOriginal He says this in the show too haha
i binged the entire show on friday and i am OBSESSED!! the show gets so much better from episode four and onward
Episode 4 is such a fantastic flex!
It's great watching a reaction from people who are geeking out as much as me. I think they did a great job adapting the story to a very different medium, and I love how some shots look like they're straight from the comics.
I love how this adapts the comic both faithfully and making the changes needed for TV
Julia, ''Will I see you again?"
The response was Not "'I' hope not."
The response was a bloodchilling "You should hope not."
Love the reaction!

How horrific: Eternal dreaming with Eternal Nightmares!

I’m so glad they made this show. Everything about it is stunning.
Reading the comic before watching the series kinda knowing what is happening before it happens elevates the experience of watching this series to a different layer
so glad it's gonna be spread out on a series and not crammed into a single movie.
theres no way it could have worked as a movie. Too much would be rushed. So glad its a series with a big budget
Could Dream ironically been Alex's gay awakening?
Well he would definitely be mine if I was Alex. Look at that man 🥵
I finally found a reaction channel that has the reaction I've been looking for for this amazing series
I already watched season 1, there was only one episode that felt too long (not like 45 minutes but more like 4 hours).

I'm re-watching it with you guys and just loving your thoughts and comments on it! Really good job!
Thank you! Really glad you’re enjoying it
was already faling in love with your personalities and this reaction but the it crowd reference really sold me (i literally have it stuck in my head now). can't wait to see the rest of your videos
Its so cool to see you both have the same faces i had watching the first episode, this is amazing its really made by and for fans.
I really enjoyed this. I love both the Australian accent and the observations. Kudos to the swoosh of taffeta and how ridiculous it is. I plan a rewatch to coincide with watching the rest of this.
this was a phenomenal reaction, I can't wait for more of you!!!
Wow! This was really amazingly done. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Why is anyone caring that the son killed his father? His father was Tywin Lannister in this story too and asked for his fate!
If you asked me, old Roderick got off lucky!
Never read the comics, but i'm defiantly planning on it. Currently watching, but it is nice to see the perspective from those who've read the comics.
Loving it so far
I think half the reason I watch your content is because of your accent. Keep it up matey bloke chums... or whatever terms of endearment y'all use.
😂cheers mate
loved the reaction only wished you would have put the volume of the episode just a bit higher, I could barely hear anything. or at least subtitles
Need to work on your volume levels for sure. I can here you guys from my bathroom but from my speaker right next to me I can't hear a thing
More recent series we have done we’ve improved our volume levels (at least I hope it is…). It’s been a work in progress and learning as we go.
great reaction
Came to watch amazing british actors, and now borrowed comics from a friend 📖
I hope you enjoy them! Some of the most artistically stunning art, especailly the early issues with Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg

reaction to trailer cars on the road
React Indian movie RRR
Unfortunately, in the German dub Dream's voice is not amazing at all. Somehow we can't manage to find dubbing actors with such deep voices.
Puff infectado de política se genero, se hace difícil tolerarlo, lastima porq la historia esta buena.
😂😂😂
For people like you I guess it does.

I see why Gaiman was so ecstatic about this season, like a kid at Christmas. The casting is SO GOOD!
