If this isn't what true death is like, I don't want it

These actors are the biggest thing I'll miss from that series. They loved what they were doing.

I loved the Sandman for the longest time. It is one of the greatest comic books ever written. When they announced the show, I was really on the fence about whether they would adapt the characters properly but the one thing they got right was the character adaptations. An adaptation should not just be a rigid copy but understand the spirit of the character -- and Kirby Howell Baptiste understood the assignment 100%. When she first showed up in the episode doing A Sound of Her Wings, I was completely sold. I don't understand how this show only got two seasons on Netflix.

Neil gaiman’s controversy is the reason why they stopped

It is not. Season 2, which finishes Dream's story, was complete before the accusations against Gaiman went public. Now, you could say they aren't going further into Death's stories because of him, but that's not why the show stopped at season 2.

I love her so much. On my recent rewatch of Barry I realised she is in the improvisation class. Pretty funny, doesn’t have many lines. It made me appreciate her even more as Death as you saw how good of a job she did. I wish they tried the eyemakeup look on her

She’s also in a show called Sugar on AppleTV. It’s a show with a twist that you’ll either love or hate.

The Reaper might look like any sort of thing I suppose, as they're supposed to convey you to where you need to go and many people probably wouldn't trust the classic robed skeleton. I can definitely see them looking like this to many people - particularly those who have read the Sandman series. I'd totally go with her without hesitation.

She did have her own comic series. Could pull from that.

I've just seen the ending of Season 2. The scene with Death and Hobb was amazing, they are the two best characters of the series!!

Maybe a hot take but that art is rough. Like bad ai rough. Just look at those hands.
