The Sandman Ratings & Reviews
- stevencaceres245June 26, 2025I was obsessed with this comic in college! The covers of the Sandman series were legendary. This is a perfect translation of the comic books and I absolutely love it. I introduced my son to the show who would never take the time to read the comic books and now he has gone back and read all of the comics. It is dark. It is grim. It is amazing.. There’s absolutely no reason you should miss this series. It is just mind blowing.
- 49kn5October 21, 2025Such an art piece. I loved every minute of this show.
- ADONIS009October 20, 2025The Sandman had potential. The main character is interesting, and the story seems to build toward something worthwhile. Death and Lucifer are solid characters with good depth. But everything else feels off. The side characters add little to nothing. The show leans too hard into a drag-queen, over-styled vibe that brings no creative value. It’s filled with unnecessary nudity and tries too much to push a feminist and queer agenda, which honestly ruins the show’s potential. And the overall tone feels forced and hollow.
- HakihikoSeptember 24, 2025An Engaging Journey "The Sandman" is a visually stunning and imaginative adaptation that brings Neil Gaiman’s world to life with flair. The production design, effects, and atmosphere are consistently impressive, capturing the dark, dreamlike quality that makes the story so compelling. The performances, particularly from the lead cast, are strong and help anchor the series’ more fantastical elements in emotion and relatability. While the show succeeds in creating an immersive world and intriguing storylines, it occasionally struggles with pacing and focus. Some episodes feel slower or less engaging than others, and certain narrative threads could have been developed more thoroughly. Still, the series manages to balance drama, horror, and humor effectively in most parts. Overall, "The Sandman" is an enjoyable watch that captures the essence of its source material while providing plenty of spectacle and memorable moments.
- Jay OroscoJuly 7, 2025The lore is good, the modern take is appreciated, the visuals are cool, but emo Dream man is a bit much gave more despair than dream. Still, love the show and currently binging season 2.
- darthtoonSeptember 2, 2025Season one was mid with a couple of interesting stories, with season two completely falling off.
- h2trott1April 17, 2025RT 88% 81% IMDB 7.7
- Gen LockAugust 12, 2025Amazing display of clash of biblical elements :-)
- MundstrømJuly 31, 2025In the absence of American Gods, this show is the best deliciously slow and vivid alternative. At times it's too slow, but I also enjoy the moments as they drift by.
