Man, I'm so glad I went into this show with an open mind; I initially figured it'd be a preachy type with a religious undertone or some such but it has managed to subvert my expectations beyond what I had predicted and completely amazed me in the process.
It certainly has its somewhat cheesy moments but I'll be damned if it ain't such an entertaining, wholesome show; if you're pondering whether this show is for you, take my advice, give it a try... it may take a couple of episodes for it to "settle" but it'll grow on you fairly quickly.

When I first heard the news that my favorite Neil Gaiman comic was set to premiere as a TV show, I was delighted. Later, I found out it was on FOX, and like those damned souls entering hell, I've lost all my hopes already. FOX has messed up/cancelled all the shows that I got to like in their programming. Every one of them. The change in showrunner isn't a good sign, and demoting Tom Kapinos (the series creator and main writer) is a bad move to begin with (please, he wrote the damn pilot they greenlit!). I'm sure FOX will cancel this series after the 10 episodes commitment, and call it "an event mini-series". This show belongs to Netflix, in both scope and theme. I loved the pilot (the nod to David Bowie made me smile), please sell it to Netflix!.
