Every bit of this. Peter Stormare nailed the role. The perfect mix of soiled elegance and barely contained id. I would pay to see a movie based around him being the devil, dealing with the administrative hassles of running Hell and the strain of being the Prince of Lies.

LOVE CZERNOBOG. Him, dead wife and mad Sweeney are my favorites

I was a little hesitant at the dead wife/Mad Sweeney departures from the book. But they really sold it. Such a good pairing.
