There's no way Starz won't completely gently caress them over and block Jones from protraying Anansi in this show, they seem to hate him for some reason.

Old man Nancy is at least enough of a different character that I'm not going to be mad if it's someone other than Orlando, even though he did a great job updating him for the current era.

For how little screentime he got, I can't imagine Anansi any other way now. Took like 3 harry potter movies before they overwrote my internal imagined faces, but one scene with Anansi.

Oh yeah, no disrespect to Delroy Lindo. He's great.

Yeah, Delroy Lindo is awesome. I hope Orlando Jones is involved in some way though, he was great and one of the few shining lights of the second season, and they absolutely hosed him over

Ian McShane is always the best part of any show he is in.

I just got around to watching and got to Lemon Scented You and put the best line of the episode into Google and found this thread. I guess this dead website and I belong together.

You're a loving rear end in a top hat, dead show There should be a special warning before you start binge watching a series that got cancelled on a cliffhanger ... That's my very generous review of the problems anyway.

The audiobook voice for Wednesday sounds almost identical to Ian McShane. So, hey.

I wish they would remake Neverwhere. It was originally a BBC show but suffers horribly from being made in the mid 90s. An updated version with a real budget would be awesome.

Soap opera camera to the max. I powered through it, but it was rough. The story is great, though - and since a script already exists, it shouldn't be too difficult to update it vs. developing a screenplay from scratch based on a book.

I watched Neverwhere as it aired, and own it on DVD. Loved it then, love it now. The budget does show, but there is some creative use of what little they had*, and the cast are fantastic. Only thing it really suffers from in my eyes is the video quality is piss poor in that 1990s filmed cheaply on video way. Honestly as much as I love the story, I dont know I'd love a remake as much. I'm sure it would get the budget to actually have an impressive looking Great Beast of London and so on, but a) I think it would lose some of its charm and b) Theres no loving way you are beating the cast of the original. They nailed the casting first time. gently caress, the Marquis de Carabas is the reason that for the last 25+ years whenever the question "Who would you cast as the next Doctor?" is bandied about, I immediately say "Paterson Joseph". *Full disclosure, I'm also a doctor who fan, so as much as I love expensive prestige TV I'm fully willing to accept a shoestring budget in my sci fi/fantasy. Edit to add: Also, gently caress remaking something that was good already, make a sequel instead.
