My -- not main, but most persistent niggle with this adaptation is the same one I have with most adaptations into TV shows or movies, which is that they insist on dumbing everything down to be as understandable as possible to as wide an audience as possible. I really wish they'd let things just be unexplained for a while

I am trying very hard to not care about what they've done with the Corinthian. That's only sort of related to the previous point. Completely unrelated to both: I am really not digging Lucienne's actor

On the other hand the actor playing Dream is exactly as maudlin and dramatic and emo as he should be

People are going to say they changed Eternal Waking because the results were too horrifying to show on-screen and then they go and show Rachel looking like that? My ass

My only issue with Constantine in this adaptation is that her coat is absolutely not grubby enough to be a sentient cursed garment that ruins the life of everyone who wears it and wants Constantine to die

God I brought up the Rachel reveal but I'd completely forgotten what they're doing with the protection amulet

Yeah, no, they didn't care about the body horror in Eternal Waking, they just cut it for time
