I got a chance to watch the first episode of this at the Bard College event a few weeks back. It's extremely good and is as close to the book material as you could ever hope for, and having Fuller as the show runner was definitely the best possible thing the show could have hoped for.

Edit: Whoops, read the OP. I'll save that tidbit for after the scene in question airs.

I'm looking forward to being able to discuss the first episode with others. Non spoiler review: it's good!

It's really funny, at the talk both Gaiman and Fuller were just spoiling the whole season, but I think they assumed everyone there had read the book at that point / what they were saying was incomprehensible to anyone that doesn't know what's going on.

All in all I really liked the first episode. Thought it ended at an odd point though.

Being familiar with Fuller, I was not at all surprised that it ended the way it did.

A show that takes place in America.

A Bryan Fuller show based on the second trippiest work that Neil Gaiman penned.

Just watched the episode again. The ending is where the show brings it home in terms of visuals I was expecting out of this collaboration.

Yeah, good ideas are often arrived at by leaving a large trail of terrible ideas, that's just part of the writing process, and it seems to have worked exactly as intended.

This....this is a thing? I'm not googling it to see for myself. The internet has tricked me into doing that one too many times.

Good call.

Is there a name for that shaky-background camera technique used during World's introduction?

They filmed him using a handheld camera and then stabilized the image on his face, so the background looks like it's freaking out to keep him centered and still.
