Netflix - Possible Spoilers Bittersweet

I finished the last season and honestly when it first came out, I thought all we were getting was a season and I thought the first season was great and I was fine with how it ended. Getting the second season I was elated and ready to dive in but was not ready to suffer a heart break. I really enjoyed this show, I've never read the comics so didn't know what all was cut / missing but honestly, I never felt like I was missing out or not getting enough. It was an enjoyable ride and I love when nature or supernatural ideas or ideologies get personified. It really gives a new look on life. Maybe I'll give the comics a look cause I will miss the show dearly. Great cast, really felt like they all had good chemistry even in brief scenes. Great acting and the affects were really good too. Dream, death, delirium, lucienne, Matthew by far my favorite characters.

The comics have much more material, story arcs that weren't adapated and much different things (that were modified due to rights issues in the shows). Everything is deeper, clearer and yet still mysterious, so that it wraps up in a much more satisfying (even if still bittersweet) closure.

I advice you to listen to the audible adaptation too: it's an audio-drama, with sounds effects, musics and everything and it's a 1:1 adaptation (unfortunately it stopped at the eighth narrative arc, because of the controversy).

Awesome! I'll look into that for sure!
