Binged on this over a couple of nights and really enjoyed it - Ian McShane is superb, an interesting concept with plenty of twists.
One problem - couldn't see past Shadow Moon being the guy from Hollyoaks.

I've only just got around to watching this on Amazon Prime; 4 episodes in, and it's brilliant. Takes some getting your head around if you haven't read the book, but it's essentially around a hidden world of magic and ancient gods, and their response to the new world of technology and such. Well worth a go - and some perseverance. |

It just didn't click with me TBH. I enjoyed the scenes with Ian McShane but there seemed an awful lot of pointless filler that seemed like it was trying too hard to be clever. |

I've just watched the final episode and whilst I take your point about being clever - I don't think it was a case of trying too hard; I think it just is clever - that's kind of the point of a Neil Gaiman story. As I said, I'm not sure it has mass appeal - maybe for the reason you've highlighted - but I really enjoyed it; once you get the gist, it's really interesting and very well made. I'm looking forward to season 2. |

Thankfully I haven't watched Hollyoaks in donkeys, so I didn't have that to contend with. |

Season 2 is on Prime as of today I believe - at least Cronus and I will be happy. |
