I first came across the book in 2017, bought it and was immediately hooked by the story.
Years passed, and when they announced the casts for the series, I was skeptical (I’m not a big movie/TV person) as I knew nothing about Michael Sheen and David Tennant.
Decided to give it a try, and boy, it’s so good. Everyone is so perfectly casted.
I’m genuinely worried about II. Not because I don’t think Gaiman can go it alone, but because the original had an unstable insanity to it that will be difficult to continue without being ridiculous for ridiculous’ sake.
I hope it’s good, of course.
Yeah I agree, the thing that makes the book so good is the tag-team between Pratchett and Gaiman, Pratchett was amazing at mixing humor and seriousness like a true comedian. No offense towards Gaiman of course, but even if it’s good it’ll probably feel like something is missing, because it is.
