While it may hold few surprises for fans of the source material, The Sandman's first season satisfyingly adapts an allegedly unfilmable classic.

Loved this series. It has definitely inspired me to pick up the graphic novels and give them a read. I was previously unaware that the show was based off of graphic novels and comics, but apparently the show follows them quite closely. Excited for season 2.

Very weird but extremely entertaining and unpredictable. Especially the performances of Sturridge, Holbrook and Thewlis make this series worth watching.

Started out well! I liked the casting and the premise was interesting. It just got boring. I assumed the whole series would be his quest to retrieve his relics but that story line was cleared up quickly. It then was a procession of stores about characters that had little to do with the main character, while also being plodding and boring. Maybe the original comic is boring too, but seems like a great opportunity to make something more if that is the case. Snore. If there is a season two, I wont bother to watch.
