  1. Started Sandman, half way through the first episode, and uhhh is this entire show going to be filmed with this incredibly distracting fisheye effect?

      The director appears to understand that the camera moves in better films but not why.

        Some good casting... but some very strange plot changes.

          Is the camera continually moving because the director doesn't know how to focus the camera so they have to keep moving it to keep the subject in the center of the focus?

            I know Hollywood is terrible at casting women / men pairs at appropriate ages but having adult John Dee and his elderly mother played by an actor born in 1963 and an actress born in 1965 is wild.

              He's older than she is and they're both under 60!

                Why do so many of these scenes have slight camera shake? Can Netflix not afford a steadycam rig?

                  Lol the cabby can't process your credit card Johanna, his scanner is waiting for a DHCP address! We noticed when there was a pointless insert of a closeup on your credit card.

                    I'm unclear is it not supposed to be... like the 80's here?

                      Haha Johanna Constantine is amazing... but is that really how that last name is pronounced? I didn't think so.

                        It is an EXTREMELY interesting choice that apparently in this iteration Constantine *isn't* the one that summons the demon that takes Astra.

                          I am... very unclear how much time is passing here

                            I guess John Dee's mom was supposed to be magically younger. Ok. I also am quite interested in how they've decided to make both him and his mother pretty sympathetic from the very beginning. Presumably in support of having one truly Big Bad?

                              Why the choice to make this so much less... horror?

                                  Well.. the cinematography gets *significantly* better. But it is really weird how almost every "villain" from the comic is actively painted in a more sympathetic light to make The Corinthian more of a Big Bad. And also weird how that ends up making The Sandman less sympathetic.

                                    Also there's some strange mixing of anachronisms, throwbacks, and character ages that makes telling the passage of time (and what year the characters are supposed to be in) quite difficult. So much so it is like an annoying itch at the back of my head.
