Good but not as good as the book. I love the casting, Shadow and Wednesday are perfect, but I found the branching story lines in the book really engaging while in this series (based on viewing season 1 only) has reduced them to vague references. Also it somehow feels as though they have introduced an element of religiosity that wasn't in the books. Sounds weird as the story is about religion but the book didn't feel as though it either validated or denied religion.

Couldn't even finish the series. Such a disappointment. Had to stop on about 4th episode where there was a scene where things were getting killed, lots and lots of slomo blood splashing etc. Except this one went on and on and on....and on and on.

I get the feeling that the writers of this show don't exactly know where they're going with this. Good actors help, but only so far.
