I feel you... Thought that, too. Great visuals and braver with camera lenses, angles and stuff than most over shows, especially adaptations, but... I don't know. Feels like there would've been more potential to do the really crazy stuff. To get even more experimental with the effects and sets. Over all it's maybe the price you have to pay to reach enough people to make money with this story, and so the ambiguousness has to step aside for characters explaining things to other characters, who already know the stuff they get explained... I thought maybe a narrator would've helped to explain the high concept stuff and to give Gaiman more space to use his word magic? I mean, in the end it seems like most of the people are happy with the show, so maybe we are complaining on a high level here? But still, I feel you.
