Warning: Minor spoilers for Dead Boy Detectives!
Hollywood is at the peak of TV and film adaptations, and I’m a little burnt out.
When a TV series based on Dead Boy Detectives was announced some two years ago, I was nervous.
Netflix’s The Sandman, which had Gaiman at the helm, was nearly perfect.
To quote Sebastian from The Little Mermaid, “The human world is a mess.”
When the boys died, Edwin in 1916 and Charles in 1989, no one investigated.
I said that the show is delightfully dark, but it’s also delightfully queer.
Right away the show wants you to know, this ain’t Sandman.
It’s a bit more upbeat, a bit sillier, but it acts as the perfect companion piece.
Gaiman goths, we won.
Dead Boy Detectives is streaming now on Netflix.
