Since I've been extremely busy and traveling for the past couple of weeks I haven't had a moment to watch any of the second season of The Sandman (and with the horrors revealed about Neil Gaiman it didn't feel too pressing) but when I saw these two gifs of blond beauty Freddie Fox making the rounds I felt the need to move it up the list. Anybody watched the second season yet? If you're unsure where you know Freddie from it might be The House of the Dragon or it might be Queer as Folk creator Russell T. Davis' hella-gay miniseries Cucumber or it might be this great big gratuitous post I did on him backin 2018 when I mistook him for one of the Dunkirk Twinks. Remember that phenomenon? At least Christopher Nolan gave culture something once. As did Sandman:
I've watched the first 6 episodes so far, and they've all been phenomenal. Which is a nice reprieve since I felt like the first season was bookended by some dud arcs with the good stuff sandwiched in-between. But this season so far, for me, is really going strong.
ReplyDeleteHe played an uber-obnoxious twit in the Slow Horses series. Erasing that impression is not going to be easy.
ReplyDeleteIf that second gif doesn't do it, I'm afraid nothing will.
ReplyDeleteAlso THE GREAT and THE GENTLEMEN
ReplyDeleteOh yes I forgot he was on The Great!
ReplyDeleteGod I miss The Great :(
I keep coming back to this post like a talisman against the darkness of the world.
ReplyDeleteNot being knowledgeable about the source material but somewhat of a fan of Jim Sturgess I watched the first season and enjoyed it and found the second season more emotionally involving than the first. It 's beautifully photographed and is one of the most scored series I've ever seen. The music never stops and is used to good effect. I have no idea how close it is to the graphic novels or series but I think it is most artfully done.
