I'm not sure who this show's audience is, but if you're 35-95, and sometimes 15-25, then this show is you. There's some SVU moments that are annoying, but also some great moments that make this show amazing. Brenda Leigh Johnson is an exceptional character. Add in the other characters on her team, that sometimes steal the show, and you've got TV gold. In season one, everyone despises her, with prejudice. She leads her ass off, and slowly people start to realize how talented she is. By season two, the majority of the police force low-key, kinda respects her for her hustle, work-ethic, commitment, talent, results, resilience, and reputation. By season three, she is loved by all, across multiple agencies. FBI, CIA and the LA PD. She's insane and annoying, but wins the respect of everyone she encounters.

The Sandman is abducted and held captive for over a century, turning the real world and the dream world into chaos. After his escape, he must restore order to save the world. That's the simple version. The show can be a bit slow at times and the CGI needs improvement, but overall this is an amazing show! Great casting. Tom Sturridge is Dream and does a great job carrying the show. Even his look and slender frame help make the character more believable.

Also - it's really funny how many reviewers are outraged by the fact some characters are female, or black or LGBTQ. We are talking about a fantasy show. Who cares if they changed some of the characters? "Are they telling a good story?" Is the only question we should be asking. There are a million shows with all straight white casts. Hollywood has also notoriously whitewashed characters who weren't fictional just to appease white viewers. Where was the outrage when the blue eyed Burt Lancaster played an Apache chief or Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra? Remember when Angelina Jolie played Mariane Pearl who is a Afro-Cuban women in real life. Jake Gyllenhaal played the Prince of Persia. Liam Neeson played Ra's al Ghul in Batman. Tilda Swinton played The Ancient One in Doctor Strange. The list goes on and on and on... I'm sorry if it makes you feel uncomfortable when you see diversity in a show. Maybe you should think about why that is?

I LOVE Tina Fey, but she just can't help herself. She keeps writing the same show. A work place comedy about an out of touch, wealthy white man at the top, who is constantly humbled by the self righteous, liberal women who works under him. She seems to be obsessed with this theme. In 30Rock it was Jack Donaghy and Liz Lemon, in Great News It was Greg Walsh and Katie Wendelson and Chuck Pierce and Portia Scott-Griffith. Now in Mr. Mayor it's Neil Bremer and Arpi Meskiman. Even the music for each show sounds the same. Probably because her husband Jeff always does the music. While I like all three shows, I wish she would write a different type of show like she did with Unbreakble Kimmy Schmidt.
