The Sound of Her Wings

Beautifully written! The storyline is unique and the actors do it justice. I was afraid this would be a campy comic book series. I'm going to watch the entire series and hopefully I can leave a rating that's better than the one star that someone left!

I was very fond of Death in the comic, so had reservations about the changes made here. Fears entirely groundless, Death is as wonderful as ever. So nice that they take the time to introduce her character. By the end of the chapter, you feel genuine affection for her.

The story of the guy given immortality resonated with me for many years, and the show handled this brilliantly also. Loved the fact that some tosser was still in the pub banging on 400 later about "the trouble with the dole....."

This show is breathtaking, the previous episode to this one was superb, going from an unknown premise of what would happen to a dark twist, but this episode had me in tears, there is a certain part in this episode that actually goes there, no holds barred, very raw and viceral which should shake every human on earth, not just parents...I never thought a tv show would do this, its done in such a beautiful way, that even the most hardened person should shed a tear.

Kudos to the team, just kudos.

This was one of my favourite stories from the original series, one that showed a bit of humanity from Dream of the Endless.

So I was very happy to see it as part of this series.

And its been brilliantly re-told here, it could be viewed as a bit sedate in comparison to the previous episode but still marvellously told and it doesn't feel ploddy.

This episode contains two of my favorite issues from the first two volumes of The Sandman graphic novels. Hob gadling and death are both two of my favorite characters in this epic saga and this episode does both of the characters justice. Hob Gadling was so, so likable and fun to watch & Death going around taking people's life was also a treat to watch. It was a great character study for Dream, too, since the two characters in the episode show a side of Morpheus that was not shown before.

Overall, an amazing episode. The contrast with the last episode is also outstanding. This episode is the greatest indicator of what's to come in the next seasons because the two issues this episode adapts are the tone that the series continue in.
