Goodnight, Sandman

 

Gave up watching “The Sandman” on whatever streaming service. I'm too stupid to understand it.

I liked it a lot for the first four episodes, but it turned strange. Stranger. Whenever a character demands that nobody tell lies, bloodshed follows. 

It didn’t help that I fell asleep a couple times. I skipped to the 10th episode and fell asleep twice. Sandman, indeed.

Suddenly: animated cats. I like cats but then somebody took kittens to kill and that’s where I quit.

I'm struggling with "House of the Dragon" and "Rings of Power," too.

Last "House" episode I watched, I paused the TV at the 20-minute mark, just to check. 20 minutes and no dragon. False advertising!

"Rings" is likeable, except for the editorial choice to skip from story to story to story to story ... a desperate technique to keep the viewer tuned in, but for Frodo's sake take a pill and focus!
