I have not (yet) seen this show

The existence of a Sandman adaptation is hilarious to me. My copy of The Kindly Ones has a foreword that contains the following:

And the next frame, Dream's response, is simply a wordless, tight close-up of his tortured face. (That's an effect, by the way, that neither a novel nor a film could achieve with the same force, since a novel would have to describe his face, and a film could only give us an actor trying to imitate that bleak mask of regret. The comic, in Marc Hempel's brilliantly reductive drawing style, gives us the thing itself.)

The actor tried his BEST. That's what I will say. It is not the comic, it has the spirit of the comic, it has the updated beats that a story NOW like that needs.

It's not the comic and it shouldn't try to be the comic, imho. It should have the vibe of the comic, which it sounds like it does so yay!

I was more a fan of Death and Delirium, yet this mini=series kept me enthralled, and the changes made from the source only heighten the world they built.
