Absolutely loving the show so far! It’s very interesting and filling my need for that dark fantasy goodness.

Episodes 5 and 6 were so powerful!!! Episode 5 was so hard to watch, and 6 was utterly heartbreaking but also very sweet, Dream has a best friend!

Absolutely loved the series and cannot wait for the sequel (which, like Good Omens 2-will come). Next I plan to watch some Lucifer episodes, re-read Dream and wtch Sandman again.

Episodes 4-6 are some of the best TV I’ve seen in AGES. Loved the ending of Ep. 6, it was so touching.

Don’t forget, everyone–if the Sandman series has you wanting more, the August edition of the Official DC Book Club kicks off tomorrow with Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes! Whether you’re new to the Dreaming, or a fan from years past, you won’t want to miss out on this incredible series of books and the wonderful group discussions!

As much as I’m loving this series, I’d love it even more if they could manage to include an adaptation of the Sandman Midnight Theater, Special edition, that brought Wesley Dodds into that universe, next season. There’s got to be one. If I have to start a “bring back the Snyder cut” style campaign myself! That would make my day!

I’m currently two episodes in. I’m not going to check back in until I’ve seen episode 3, but I want this on the record: DC, I do not trust you to break your tradition of live-action adaptations pretending that Constantine is straight. Honestly, if Constantine were straight, then I’d assume a gender-flipped version would be a lesbian, like Jeryn/Jeri Hogarth, but Constantine is bi, and in the 2014-2015 show, he was depicted as straight, which would be fixed in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, but still, I’m worried about this scene:
Now, I’m really hoping this is Hector and Lyta Hall, but I’m worried that it’s the fantasy that the Sandman put Rachel into, and that’s a male Rachel. I would be assuming that it was Hector and Lyta, but Jenna Coleman is 5’1", and Razane Jammal is 5’7", so without knowing how tall the other person is, it seems pretty likely that the shorter one is, in fact, an imaginary Constantine, and the taller one is a male Rachel. I thought you had improved, DC, and I’ll try to give you the benefit of the doubt on this one, there’s still a chance the actor who plays Hector is freakishly tall, so I’m giving you a 60-65% chance that it is, in fact, the Halls. Another horrible thing is that as I was writing this I saw that @SuperBrainiac wrote
, which stirred up a bunch of angry feelings about the dumbest choice in television history since Chris Chibnall was made showrunner of Doctor Who, which reminded me that DC has a perverse incentive to continue pretending that Constantine is straight. What a messed-up planet.

Joanna Constantine is definitely bisexual. And thats all i’m gonna say about that.

For those who have read the comics (or are currently reading it for the August Book Club), how do you feel like it holds up to the source material? Do you like the updates/changes that were made to the show?
Also, for those who might be interested, there is a live Sandman Q&A with Neil Gaiman on Twitter, tonight at 5pm PT! Join up and get an inside look at the making of the show!

Question: Is it necessary to know anything about the Sandman comics in order to enjoy the series?
2 Likes
Nope! Neil Gaiman himself has said that you don’t need to have read any of the series to appreciate the show. There are definitely references to the comic, and maybe a few scenes that might need some explaining, but overall I’d say it can be enjoyed regardless!

Episode 4 was spectacular!! Sandman beating the devil by saying Hope beats anti-life makes me think of Superman. Not sure if it’s an intentional reference or not but still neat!

I loved that scene SO MUCH.

The “fight” was too D&D for my liking. Nothing being able to beat hope is damn powerful though.
