Sandman (Netflix) started with a solid 2-thumbs-up, by the time it descended into Hell, it barely reached a thumb-up, the duel there brought it to "meh", and the diner ep kicked it solidly off my viewing list, returning me to "DOTA dragon blood" and "Alchemy of Souls".
DOTA I ended up binging all three seasons despite the rather bland art style, and AoS, despite spilling some of its plot-jellies unnecessarily early, is still on my "each weekend a new ep"-list!
Still, come to think of it, that *is* truthful to the Sandman source, which had the same type of "attention career" with me. :-)
p.s.: I'm aware that this is not the post most people following this blog (if any are left) are waiting for. I have not given up on the Decagram, but as commented on a previous post. a new career chapter is gobbling up my creativity at the moment. OTOH, this post means I'm slowly getting back time for entertainment, so writing TBX will follow.
p.p.s.: another entertainment snippet right now is Danielle L. Jensen's "Dark Shores" trilogy (starting with the Prequel "Tarnished Empire", which I just gobbled up as Audibles on my daily commute. I never thought an all-but-Roman-in-name Legatus would end up being a fav character of mine (though you probably need to know me pretty well as to why). :-)

Dark Shores sounds interesting, I'll check it out!

Decagram's complexity reached a point where I get meaningful word counts only during my vacation - and those have been few and far between. I truly hope to get the next BAU-chapter completed in my winter vacation, though. There's only one gap - and editing left. Wish us luck. :-)
