jjonahjameson11 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Sorry, but after viewing all 11 episodes twice, this adaptation missed the mark. As a long time fan of the original published works, collector of TPB’s, Hardcover, watches, numerous statues & other Sandman family related merchandise, what I saw felt hollow and plastic. I hope the series ends in its current format/production ‘values’, and is handed over to someone competent enough to carry forward Neil’s vision correctly. And yes, I know that Neil was involved in various aspects of this production, but honestly, it’s totally missing the ethereal mood portrayed in the comics Edited September 4, 2022 by jjonahjameson11 BCarter27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, as a Sandman fan since the beginning I'm having a great time. Hope for much more. Jayman and Microchip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 This interaction was so solid. It forced viewers to think a little bit about what was going on between these two immensely powerful beings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalPSI Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I'm happy Patton Oswalt got the part of a lifetime, he is a huge comic fan after all, but his voice.... ugh. Liked him better in Archer, it was more apt. BCarter27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Fantastic news! I can't wait for some of the other story arcs to be adapted. Being a fan of ancient Greek and Roman history, one of my favourite single issue stories in the run is August/Distant Mirrors Part 2 (issue #30).

Agreed! # 30 is a top 5 issue for me - the last page was devastating. Microchip and kimik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axelrod Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I'm glad this show is getting a second season, but I worry a bit that the next group of stories (at least as they were published) aren't nearly as compelling as the opening bunch. The first season was, I thought, remarkably faithful to the source material, even to the point of adapting the "bonus" stories that didn't really fit the primary narrative. But I don't quite see how they do that for season two without taking some much larger liberties, and probably skipping a bunch of the "stand-alone" stories. Maybe not. I guess we'll see.

Remember Gaimen himself is attached to the production, and he has laid out that all of his story notes are now available. What made into the comics was a fraction of what he wrote, and more so suffered the fate of the dreaded deadlines of publishing a monthly title.
