The story is great, but, the cgi looks like a bad SyFy movie (sharknado 1-5). If you can get past that, and dive into the story and humor, you'll love this show, as I did. I'm not very familiar with Gaiman's work, but now I have to see more. I know the Sandman comic is highly respected, I'll probably start there. My only knock, again, is the cgi. The practical effects are fine, it's just most of the cgi looks cheap.
