I'm really enjoying this show thus far, and I think it's probably going to generate some movie careers. I have read the book so I'm aware of all the plot twists, but I like some of the updates they've done to characters to represent the current zeitgeist, like making the Internet God a teenage Oculus Rift freeze peach chud.
Hopefully the interest in Gaiman's work finally gets Sandman going. Not a movie though, it would have to be a miniseries for the narrative to be portrayed correctly.
