Why does it feel like every time I come back and re-invest in this series, I end up feeling bamboozled by the end? I find myself having to echo the same complaints I had last season, the show prioritizes looks over substance, add to it the ridiculously slow pacing and frankly irrelevant elements that eat away at the available runtime and my frustration begins to add up. I mean honestly, how much content did they adapt this season? Ten pages worth? Whatever...

I feel I have to ask myself if investing further is a wise decision or not and I hate to do that because I'm a massive fan of Gaiman and especially of this title. I will stick around for next season, if there is one, and depending on how that goes, I might have to drop this puppy. :confused:

@jinzulen They adapted the whole little town haven storyline from the book, the final point of the second act. If anything compared to last season I would say they adapted more "content' from the book. I love it personally when I've read a book and they change it enough to keep me interested in an adaptation. How boring is it when everything is almost copy/pasted from the novel?
I do wonder if season four will be the end of the story or not, however. I can't see them getting more than ten episodes worth from the book and yet they have been slow before.

I will however agree with you that they priorities the visuals over the story. As I really enjoyed the book I am not too bothered by this. I take it as it goes, realising that it could never be a favourite for non-book fans.
