Awkward because Neil Gaiman and a fair number of accusers are in the early stages of a long, drawn-out, and inevitably merciless legal knife fight over sexual harassment abuse allegations. Netflix cannot be overly happy that every single article about THE SANDMAN: SEASON 2 is going to be bringing that up, I’m sure. …Including this one, I guess.

THE SANDMAN gets physical DVD release, second season.
Although that last bit of news is a bit old, isn’t it? You’d think I would have heard that they renewed THE SANDMAN. Maybe they did, and I just forgot. Ten months ago would have Christmas season, and I’m always busy then.
Anyway: Netflix has decided to actually make THE SANDMAN real. Get it while you can, because to have digital-only is to purchase a ghost…
The THE SANDMAN Honest Trailer.
One of those where Honest Trailers had to gently nitpick because THE SANDMAN* was… you know, good. I am mildly interested about why they didn’t really mention Death at all. This show’s particular version of Death absolutely knocked it out of the park…
*Expensive? Yes. Worth it?
…Also yes.

My mini-review of THE SANDMAN.
Now that I’ve watched the first season (but not the interlude?) Short version: it’s pretty f*cking awesome.
Continue reading My mini-review of THE SANDMAN.I’ve just finished Episode 6 of THE SANDMAN…
…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.

So, THE SANDMAN has been good so far.
The plot’s a bit different, and obviously they’ve changed some of the minor characters around. But I finished Episode 2 today, and I have to say: they’ve gotten the mood, style, and tone right. It absolutely feels like the original comic. If you liked the original THE SANDMAN, this is a pretty good adaptation.
That being said, I don’t think that the show will be reproducing the convention, which is an absolute shame. It would also probably freak a lot of viewers the [expletive deleted] out, so I guess that they had to make that call. Or maybe I’m guessing wrong, and they will do it! I look forward to finding out.

The “/set eyebrow = ‘Raised’] THE SANDMAN Trailer.
Apologies if the coding is off. I am an English major. Besides, you get what I mean:
THE SANDMAN First Look Netflix trailer.
Okay, this one I retain a certain optimism for.
Book of the Week: The Sandman Volume 1: Preludes and Nocturnes.
Time to get back on that carousel again, I guess. The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes is the first of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series, and I can’t wait to see what they do with it on the big screen. No sarcasm, either. I’m too tired for sarcasm.
