It’s best to disregard the prejudiced opinions you might find online, and perhaps steer clear of this series altogether. Neil Gaiman may possess talent as a writer; however, similar to what happened with *American Gods*, his involvement in live-action adaptations seems to result in a noticeable decline in quality.
