To those complaining about a diverse cast, youre seriously embarrassing yourselves. You should really reflect on the the notion that representation in this series from actors that are different than you is bothering you this much and ask yourself why. All of their criticism never mentions the acting. Newslfash, there are more people in the world than only straight white people! Maybe the best actor for the role was cast? Either way stop, you all look ridiculous and bigoted.
On to the series itself. I never read the books but now I will! This has been the most thought provoking fantasy shows I have ever seen! I loved all of the questions Gaiman poses about humanity and what we value and what makes us human. So well shot and directed also. I cant wait to see where the series goes!
