…and I think I can safely say: this is a solid [expletive deleted]ing show. It is hitting the mood, tone, and style of the original SANDMAN comic in the dang bullseye. It could maybe still suck – I’m doing my level best to avoid finding out about future episodes – but so far it’s everything I would have wanted from an adaptation. If you read the comics and liked them, you’ll like this.

I must concur. My wife and I made it through the first 4 episodes last night before we decided we needed to sleep before work today. The feel and imagery is incredible. The casting for Lucien / Lucienne captured the character, mutatis mutandis. I think my only real complaint is that the actress for Johanna Constantine – Constantine is someone who’s Seen Things and Done Things, and she didn’t strike me as having the haunted undercurrent that comes with that. But that’s a minor gripe.
Episode 6 had the two stories that they absolutely needed to get right for this series, and they hit the bullseye each time.
Good, better than I expected.
Is it wrong that I hear the Chordettes singing while I watch this show?
