The passion he puts in is so crystal clear to see. Its incredible. Netflix needs to renew, so we can see this incredible Lord of Stories, Dreams and Nightmares continue on his path of change

Morpheus is beautiful, scary, gentle, aggressive, haunted, just…..EVERYTHING I had expected and more!

There are simply not enough gracious things that I can say about this show’s excellence 😍🙌🏼

The messy hair, the thin face, the way you can see his brain work before he answers anything, like he has a million answers ready and just have to pick one, because he has thought about all of it before. And of course; "King of Stories", it's a fitting title for Mr. Gaiman, no?

I think it's really cool that Morpheus's imprisonment is now 100 years rather than around 70 years in the comic. I cannot wait to see the Serial Killer convention, Hob Gadling, and Lucifer! I also hope that Season Of Mists is adapted this season or the next.

    I've never been so confident in an actor the way I am with tom sturridge. the way he talks about his character and the story and his whole understanding of it. his commitment to the role is real and pure alongside his talent and looks. he is gonna go so big with this one.

    A few months ago a teaser trailer introduced me to this character, and I was intrigued. I mean, I love anything to do with dreams and the dream world, in science and even in fantasy. Newest trailer and it looks so wondrous! And now I'm finding out that this is a book/comic series, and Neil Gaiman is behind it? I must get these books!! And the audible. Where do I start!

    I am watching this interview to confirm if he really has that pout naturally. My husband and I watched the series and we noticed how he talks and even started joking around talking with a pout. He did an excellent job, it’s funny how I felt bad for his character and loved him because he was captured but then when he escapes and has that one track brain and he doesn’t listen, I didn’t like him and at the end, he starts to listens after he finds out the betrayal of his sibling, I started to love him again. So as an actor if you can do that I think you are an excellent excellent actor and very good at what you do.

But sadly the syllabus did not approve of this type of literature. This kind of creative stories should be welcomed in schools. Wakenya si mnajua zile vitabu knec wanataka
