I haven't watched yet for the same conflicted emotional reasons, Atropa. It will probably happen before end of summer, but not sure yet.

I have not watched any of season 2 yet, although I have not completely ruled out out that I will. It's weird because I was looking forward to it an awful lot not that long ago, but I just don't know how to approach it now and maybe I should just not? But that seems unfair to the cast and everyone else who worked on it. And the same part of me that can't stop poking at bruises to see if they still hurt definitely wants to check it out.

I watched all of Sandman s2, and had to spend the entire time thinking of it as "inspired by" and not an actual adaptation. There were very weird changes to storylines and relationships from the comics, tho' I want more of the Loki/Puck situationship, and because the producers and writers had to cram 50+ issues of character development into this season, none of the emotional beats felt earned. For example, in the storyline for The Wake, it was clear in the comics that dreamers from everywhere were in attendance, even if they didn't know why. The production could have used CGI to create a larger crowd, dammit. Which is why I say none of the emotional beats were earned.
I missed Thessaly, but was happy that since they didn't include her, Mad Hettie ended up with more to do.
One other thing: No, I am NOT here for any Joanna Constantine + The Corinthian relationship. Talk about something that came out of left field and didn't feel natural.

Hmm, I may have to watch just so I can react to some of that

I'm nodding along with your points Atropa. Quite vigorously with the last one.
I'd been wondering where David S. Goyer's influence on the narrative was, but that mystery can be considered solved.

He's the one responsible for Leonardo having an historically inaccurate romance with Lucrezia Donati in Da Vinci's Demons. Can't have a leading man who's not involved in a relationship with the female lead, after all, or even worse who might actually be guilty of the sodomy charges (plural) that were made against him!
