Love the concept and the idea of Ian McShane as Mr. Wednesday is enough to pretty much guarantee that I'll be watching this.

I am so excited to see that y'all have a topic for this!  The casting looks great.  I just wish it were starting sooner!

Interesting. She looks exactly like my mental image of Eos, but apparently that's not who she's playing.

Must have been 8-10 years since i read this book (maybe 5 since I read Anasi Boys) but the info about the show has me pretty interested. Amazon prime somehow got the Canadian rights to this, which is surprising to me based on how small their content library is. I am just surprised that the first big tv thing that McShane has done since Kings. Based on how awesome he is you would think he would be starring in stuff non stop since Deadwood.

I'm going to watch it, but I'm not sure if I'll love it. I was more excited, until i stopped to consider how I feel about the book. I thouht it was interesting, and worth reading, but not the most fun I've ever had. Definitely not my favourite of Gaiman's work.

I've seen the actor playing Shadow before, and don't think he's very good. I also don't care for Ian McShane, and find it amusing that the permed, Sunday evening Lovejoy somehow became a medium-sized name in the US.

But, even though it's not my favourite work, hopefully it will tide me over until Good Omens finally makes it to the screen. And until the sequel to Neverwhere is released.

Having read a good deal of the book, I'm not super excited about the possibility of it being adapted for television.
