Part of me doesn’t wonder if everything was set up by someone in amazons marketing department. I mean like the actual petition etc.

50/50. If it's legit, these people are gonna have a breakdown over Sabrina.

You may be right. It would be fecking brilliant.

I am a HUGE Gaiman fan from the comic book days. I also like Pratchett alot, although not as much. This book was a 7.5-8/10. The series seems quite faithful to the paper which i like, but this was nobody's best work(except David Tennant who is brilliant).

It would not surprise me if the show was not getting the views that they expected, and this sort of thing is just the ticket to generate interest.

I hope it wasn't guerrilla marketing,but again,it would have been fecking genius if it was.

I'm always on the lookout for an ulterior motive, but in this case I think the face value is correct. If you track down the petition it's written in what looks like Earnest Crazy Person language. It's still there, still going with an updated goal, and the rest of the website is more than a little... yeesh!

Great series, utterly stupid people protesting it. Why hasn't Netflix received a petition from these people over a great series it does produce, "Lucifer"?

I think its because this series is distinctly British, and there's nothing 'Muricans hate more (other than Mexicans/Latinos, People living in the Middle East who are not Jewish, Northern Elites, Coastal Elites, African Americans, Native Americans, Canadians, Mexicans, Liberal Treehuggers, Diversity, Libtards, Whiny Snowflakes, Millennials, The Future, Anderson Cooper, Progress, Latinos, Bill Maher, Tolerance, That guy from that thing who Trump said was not a good person, Tesla Owners, Rachel Maddow, "Boy Rachel" who is on before her..... fuck, its a LONG list; let's narrow it down to anyone who didn't vote for Trump, and who isn't Israeli or American.... and white.) than being mocked by the British, especially when it come to religion.

They do realize by now that this sort of thing just encourages more people to watch, right?

No, they don't. These people aren't exactly critical thinkers.

That does it for me... I'm going to watch this.
(But I think the real sin is making Good appear normal.)
