I'm glad to see they're just doing the first two books this series.
I'd assumed they were going to try and shoehorn the whole thing into one big CGI mess.

...which bodes well.
whether a netflix show is great or not isn't entirely down to netflix. we wouldn't assume the same of every bbc production either.
i've certainly disliked a handful of netflix-produced shows, but of those that interest me, i've really enjoyed many more.
i'm keeping my fingers crossed they do gaiman's material a service.

I guess it could stretch out to quite a few seasons given how much of it there was.

Yeah, the sheer scope of the comic
is one of the best things about it (and also why it seemed unfilmable).

I love DC's depictions of hell and the afterlife; The Demon, Reign In Hell, Shadowpact, occasionally Sandman (and even Lobo)
and there's absolutely no way Netflix or anyone else could convert that good stuff to the screen without turning it to shit. Even the DCAU panel-for-panel reconstructions of the comics are shite compared to the source material.
