The Sandman review: A great new series, but…
Live MintI’ll just come out and say it: The Sandman is thrilling, and engrossing, if you haven’t read the books, that is. The new Netflix show, based on Neil Gaiman’s immortal comics series, is full of wonder, but if you’ve had a long and intimate relationship with the books, it may be something of a disappointment. Season 1 delivers a mostly faithful recreation of the first two Sandman books, Preludes And Nocturnes and The Doll’s House, right down to using the names of each book volume as episode names. Both in the books, and now in the TV series, this serves as our introduction to Gaiman’s Endless universe, and as a result, Season 1 has a fair amount of explaining to do. While the show’s Hell is nowhere near as visually spectacular as the one depicted in the books, Christie’s Lucifer is a menacing and unsettling presence.
