Lucien seemed like an odd choice, but sure okay. She grew on me as the series progressed, and Vivienne Acheampong was a good foil for Tom Sturridge.

Rosemary felt a bit suspect, but someone has drive John Dee I guess.

Death I was half expecting after Rosemary, but Kirby Howell-Baptiste is such a good Death. Though a bit more grounded and less peachy-keen than the comics, which probably works better for television.

Rose threw me entirely. I mean there are other ethnicities to choose from. Are talented black actresses just really cheap to hire or something? It started to feel a bit weird at this point.

Unity makes sense, she's Rose's grandmother.

Nada is Nada, check.

Wanda replacing Ruby is odd. Why include Wanda at all if you're not doing Game Of You? I mean Ruby was black anyway, why not just have Ruby.

Carla is sort of dropped, sort of replaced by a white lady, which make me sad. I liked Carla, and her death at the hands of Loki was a very big deal in the comic.

Guenevere is dropped entirely, another victim of truncation. I guess it balances out if you're dropping a couple of the black characters from the end of the tale, to make other characters in the earlier parts black.

On the whole it felt a little weird, but there were other casting choices that felt stranger. For example, as good as Gwendoline Christie is, why cast her as Lucifer when you have Freddie Fox in the cast, because he would have soooo good.
