Based on the iconic comic book saga created by Neil Gaiman, ‘Sandman’ is finally available on Netflix and is already conquering the subscribers of the streaming platform.
Set in a fantastical universe, the plot explores how dreams and nightmares intersect after Morpheus (Tom Sturridge) breaks free from a prison after nearly a century and encounters mythical creatures such as Lucifer himself (Gwendoline Christie).
On social media, audiences are praising the fidelity to the source material, as well as the performances, visual effects, and fluid and thought-provoking narrative.
In fact, some even said that this is the most faithful adaptation of a comic to live-action.
Check out the reactions:

Sandman episode 6 is one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in audiovisual. They managed to get a part in the HQ that’s extremely badass and reflective and crank it up to 10 power. What a perfect series. pic.twitter.com/ARkl8pZz9h

sandman is one of the best adaptations ever made and the series further enriched the world created by gaiman in the comics. the performances and visuals made everything even more grandiose and tom sturridge gave the name in the skin of morpheus.

Sandman is excellent!The sixth episode of the series is WONDERFUL (I already have text written and recorded just for him).
The comic’s fidelity will impress those who read it and please those who don’t even know what it’s about.

‘sandman‘ is the most popular creation of Neil Gaiman and is centered on the mythical being Sonho, part of a group known as Os Perpétuos or Os Sem Fim. As its name implies, the protagonist of the comics reigns over the world of dreams. The plot begins when he escapes his captivity, which lasted 70 years, and finds his kingdom dilapidated in the present day.
Remember the trailer:
The cast still has Vivienne Acheapong (Lucienne), Boyd Holbrook (Corinthian), Charles Dance (Roderick Burgess), Asim Chaudhry (Abel), Sanjeev Bhaskar (Cain), Kirby Howell-Baptiste (Death), Mason Alexander Park (Desire), Donna Preston (Despair), Jenna Coleman (Johanna Constantine), Niamh Walsh (Ethel Cripps) and Joely Richardson (Ethel).
Allan Heinberg (‘Wonder Woman’) is the showrunner of the series.
DC’s Vertigo comic book imprint originally published the series between 1989 and 1996, with several additional series arriving in 2009 and between 2013 and 2015.
