While this is great, I've always been a fan of the Wesley Dodds version, something I would love to see if they ever made a 40's pulp comic movie.

I wonder if they couldn't use John because he was active in his show and legends of tomorrow until quite recently. There may have been something with the rights there. John is tied up in his own seperate set of tv rights that they figured weren't worth the extra headache when they could just use a different character. Im really enjoying this series so far. It's really close to the source material (you might even say slavishly so) but the few changes they did make all work. Removing the superhero stuff really simplifies things (and fwiw is something Neil Gaiman wished he'd done from the start). I have no complaints.

I’m three episodes in and I like it so far.
I know nothing about the source material at all. There are some aspects I’m having a little trouble following, but for the most part I’m on board.
Also, very respectfully: Jenna Coleman, hello

EP 02 was good. Sadly soomeone spoiled that a certain character appears in ep 6 and the last few episodes of the season are from the second TPB.
Still enjoying it. Plan on watching ep3 and ep 4 tomorrow.

During the diner episode I kept waiting for David Thewlis to say “I know all about lies and nightmares and broken promises. I was in The Island of Doctor Moreau.”

Imagine having the hubris to take what's generally regarded as a classic modern story and decide "seems kinda bland, I can do better!", AND presenting it as such to the original author.

Tapped out after the 24/7 episode. Didn't like the changes made, and Desire showing up at the end to give the cheesy evil laugh was enough for me.
Hear Netflix is now developing a Grendel series as well. Wish independent creators would quit selling their IP to Netflix so that they can get turned into average shows that get canceled after one season.

Finishing up ep 11 right now.
The changes aren't that bad for me. Still my only complaint is how cheap some of the props look.
Hearing rumors this might not get a second season. Something about the cost of the show vs how many people are watching.
But Grendal as a tv show,that is something I never thought I would see. Hope it happens.

Despite people falling for a fake account saying it had been cancelled for being 'woke', the show has officially been renewed for season 2! Hoping we'll get into A Game Of You, and that Wanda gets a proper chance to shine!
