Holy ####. I’m putting that up there with True Detective as possibly the best season of the 21st century. Maybe ever. Hard to quantify a show like this vs shows like Mad Men and Sopranos that had many seasons of goodness. But for a first season? Wow.
Ambitious, well acted, heartfelt, fascinating. I loved every minute of it and found myself transfixed when I’d watch the episodes. I got goosebumps multiple times. That doesn’t happen often. Finally someone did justice to Alan Moore’s work and he’ll likely never see it.
That kids face when he found out his mom was Sister Night. Priceless.
Was the black guy that ran the newsstand the actual kid from New York or just a call back?
One small note about the ending, I actually wish she had his power the whole time and didn’t know. All the way back to drinking the egg in the bar.
Edit: oh never mind. He drank the egg.
