Critics Consensus

The Sandman's second season occasionally meanders like a half-remembered dream, but Tom Sturridge's ethereal performance continues to give this fantasy heft.

As visually gorgeous and heartfelt as it can be, The Sandman does push the limits of what even I can tolerate.

It’s frustrating how abridged this all is, how Morpheus got ten episodes of moping and Daniel got only one to self-actualize...

The Sandman just fails to dream.

Morpheus is far from a barrel of laughs in any Sandman iteration, but the realm of dreams and myths comes off as a passion-less affair. It’s a deadly one-two punch combination of performance and writing.

Whatever your feelings about Neil Gaiman, The Sandman is a labor of love for the cast and writers who have taken the author’s source material and forged a beautiful series.

Rated: 7/10

The final season of 'The Sandman' proves that the series, based on the comic book by the controversial Neil Gaiman, could have been a whole world to expand and explore for decades to come. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Sandman was very interesting. Absolutely a fantasy tale, however quite interesting. I think it got better as it went on because it started somewhat slow. You have to watch the first season to understand what is going on. The Sandman character is somewhat muted however kind of cool and he means what he says. He is quite powerful in season 2. There are twists in season 2 concerning the Satan character. It can be slow, however you have to watch.

I really enjoyed this! I loved the first season, the second part of season 2 did not disappoint! The tone, visuals, characters everything throughout is so well done! My only criticism is I thought it was slightly rushed, there are so many different directions this could go with spin offs from other family members of the endless. I loved it and I know it’s one that I’ll watch over and over again!

Watch this and read the graphic novels, OR read graphic novels and watch this. Repeat until you understand Life The Universe and everything. Neil Gaiman sucks by the way but his work is too good to ignore.

Season 2 builds brilliantly on S1, it's one of the best series I've seen for a long time, so much depth and thought provoking ideas. It's a series that'll be rewatched for ages, the funeral is just fantastic acting by everyone - this is how scifi/fantasy should be done. Well done

The 1st season was amazing. I loved every episode. The characters were amazing the story really good, acting was superb. Come the 2nd season, all came trashing down. The actors are great and the effects amazing, but whoever wrote the script, should do a favour to mankind and stop writing... Now I have this horrible ending of sandman that I wish I had never seen...
