The Discovery+-ification of HBO and Warners is coming and I'm not very hopeful that niche, pretentious TV will have a place in it.

Was "pretentious TV" a typo or do we actually agree on Westworld? 😜

If pretentious is a synonym for terrible, then we agree.

We do agree. We just have different tolerances for pretension

Watch what you enjoy. If you don't enjoy it, don't watch. I have no problem with people liking or not liking the things that I enjoy.

Fair enough, though stating the obvious - we're both four seasons in. 🙂

I suspect our next pretension test will be The Sandman, which will live or die under Gaiman (and us).

By all means let me know what you think of it. Having read the comics back in college I can't say I'm in a rush to watch, but it sounds like other fans have been mostly enjoying it.

I'm pretty excited about Sandman, I like the looks of the trailer and I loved the comic.

Here’s a good podcast of Gaiman talking about his choices in the TV series. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtf-with-marc-maron-podcast/id329875043?i=1000574611646
