The Sandman Season 1 Review

The Sandman is a visual feast for the eyes."

– Mama's Geeky

The Sandman transports viewers to a mystical realm filled with dreams, nightmares, and magic. In this series Tom Sturridge takes on the lead role of Dream and while he isn't in every episode, the main plot of the series revolves around him. 

The Sandman is a visual feast for the eyes right from the start of the very first episode and it doesn't ever let up. The graphic novel is known for its amazing artwork and that is something that was truly brought to light in this show. 

The biggest issue with the series is just that. It is quite convoluted at times and with so many characters, side plots, and lore to dive into, it gets dense and heavy. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it can be confusing.  

The set and costume design in The Sandman are extremely impressive. Every little detail, right down to the props, hair, and makeup, are on point and integral in making the story work.

The Sandman Season 1 Review

It is clear the team behind this series put their heart and soul into it, and we are certain that Neil Gaiman is pleased with the results. It really feels like his stories were brought to life in a way we never thought possible.
