I love the portrayal of death, she is kind and guides those so they aren't alone when they pass. It's the best version of death, one that we all hope to greet us. This episode was a masterpiece in film, each death hit harder than the last, in comparison to the deathless life of Hobb.

The line from Death about everyone having a lifetime happens much later in the series. Seasons of Mist if I remember correctly.

That last scene was just so delightful. Even after all these years of waiting, receiving no answers, and not even being close to guessing Dream’s identity, Hobb still elects to show up, and warmly welcomed him as an old friend.

I lost my son when he was only 1 day old after he fought extremely hard to live; coming back not once but twice. Watching the seen with Death taking the baby was very emotional for me because ot actually personified the way I think of my own son when I think of his death. I'd like to think that he is wrapped in grace feeling no hurt or pain, and although his loss is a wound that does not heal, I do find some comfort in knowing that he is okay. Facing death is extremely hard but I like to think that when we go, our spirits travel to light; it's the only thing that makes the loss bearable. I really feel like this episode embodied that since Death was so kind and that is why it was my favorite even though it made me cry.

The comics in the most part are short stories, so I think you'll be pleased. In fact if season 2 gets made, they'll adapt volumes 3 and 4. Volume 3 is full of short stories, from dreams of cats to Shakespeare and the deal he made with Dream. Volume 4 is more of a straight story that I won't spoil. I really recommend the comics, the drawings and Neil Gaiman's writing are really amazing. The show is a great adaptation, I really thought they were going to mess it up.

@@pilgrimbutter To me it feels like they might be skipping volume 3/incorporating it as standalone extras. They've already done Dream of a thousand cats (which came as a pleasant surprise, as they could have easily skipped it) and did Calliope, which just needed to happen for the story to move forward. I feel like they won't do the other ones I'd love to see Night Dream, and it does tie into the main arch, but you could easily skip it by merely changing details later on. I think Facade might get skipped entirely, as the TV series seems to try to steer clear of the superhero stuff and the characters are kind of one-off, and it doesn't even feature Dream, being a Death-centric story.

Hobb doesn't just lose his business; he loses his wife and son and the grief is too much for him. He loses the rest of his "life" in that time, but he realizes he has other chances as he is immortal.

This episode is just a masterpiece. The pacing and performances were flawless. I love the idea of Death being a gentle, kind being and taking the souls she needs to, without discrimination and without having to use fear or force. And on the flip side, Hobb almost jokingly saying he won't die, and then even at rock bottom, still wants to keep living. If I could give this 11/10 I would

Episode 6 was seriously the best crafted episode of any television show I’ve seen in a long time. The music was amazing; the acting; the writing; the storytelling! The set design; the costumes; the lighting… I could go on and on. It was just so well done, and left me stunned. I hope this episode gets recognition and hopefully an award or two.

I also really loved the small change in the series, which is based on the fact, that in comics Dream was captured for about 70 years, so he just made it for the next meeting. In the series, Dream was captured for over a 100 years (because "present time" in the series is about 2020, which is 30 years after "present time" in comics - about 1990) so he missed the meeting in the 1989 (cause he was in captivity at the moment) and therefore their meeting after he got free was even more impactful. This subtle change of lenght of Dream's captivity is also shown in the fact, that in series Unity is Rose's great grandma, where in comics she is just grandma.

I've gone back and rewatched this episode more than a dozen times. It truly is perfect. Hob Gadling is one of my favourite characters from the story. And Death is done perfectly here. This episode is just non stop emotions.

I agree with you! Was just gushing over this episode. The Sandman is so relatable here. I was not only surprised and inspired by Hob Gadling's zest for life, but when he called Sandman out on his loneliness and the valued friendship they shared-- and the subsequent reunion-- that was the chef's kiss.

I'm re-watching specific episodes because they're so good. The story sticks on you and makes me re-watch them.

This was probably the BEST bit of television of the year. This show deserves an Emi for sure. Just WHAT have we got elsewhere that can compare? It had me on tears from the old man on. It was THAT poignant, that touching.

After the heaviness of episode 5 of The Sandman (24/7), episode 6 was needed. The catharsis of meeting Death and how she loves and takes care of humanity as people die and go into the beyond made journeying through the world and history through Hobb’s eyes even sweeter to watch. Even Neil basically said in an interview that beyond the hardness and hopelessness of the diner (at that point I can see many people not wanting to watch anymore because it was so hard to watch), there is Death and Hobb waiting for us to give us hope and new perspective on life again.

I cried so many times while watching this episode, even when i watched it for the second and the third time. It's a perfect work of art tbh

I watched this a few hours ago. Read the comics when I was 17 or 18, now it's 20 years later and I feel like Hob. I couldn't have dreamt of a more perfect adaptation. I was watching it with my dad, and I was having to breath a certain way to keep myself from sobbing. I have that choking sensation in my throat as I type these words. Thanks for highlighting this episode, can't wait to finish the first season. Side bar: I'm pretty sure Gaiman must be an actual wizard. He seems to have an arm and a leg in the ethereal realm, and whenever he grips something good, he brings it back for us. I'm so glad he's with us.

This entire episode is my favorite in the series, and my favorite two storylines in the Sandman comic. Death has always been one of my favorite comic book characters In Sandman - even though she has a job to do and it requires ferrying souls to the afterlife, she's happy to be their friend (especially if the person has no one). Gaiman did a wonderful job giving us his interpretation of Death. She's someone I would want to see when I pass away - a friend at the end.

I was there at the beginning, the graphic novels gave SO much comfort to a closeted trans girl, more than you will ever know. They came with me as I grew up, they were there when I came out. I had been out for ten years when Neil announced that Netflix was coming out with a live-action. I hoped that it would live up to the movie that's been playing in my head for the past thirty years. I cried so many times watching the season because it was everything I thought it would be, and more.

Everyone deserves a friend like Hob. Just beautiful portrayal of the character and amazing direction. It’s one of those impactful pieces of art that stays with you. Absolute must watch! 💯❤️

I have a t-shirt with an image of Death and that quote “You get what anyone gets. You get a lifetime.” I find it oddly comforting.

Episode 5 and 6 were my favorites. The overall series was great. I don't know the graphic novel, so I didn't expect anything of the series. But I would really want to see a second season, please, Netflix!

Heh. That panel you picked at the very beginning lives up to your channel name! Absolutely loved the episode, definitely did not cry during the Sound of Her Wings section, and really dug the whole series. Though omitting the baguette BIP was a bummer! Love your channel -- thanks for all the hard work.

I watched this episode for a second time, and will watch it again. My thoughts are when watching, this is television and entertainment and storytelling at its most perfect. It is probably the best television episode of anything.., ever.

This and the Hob Gadling episodes are my favorites. Baptiste gives the most adorable portrayal of DEATH I've ever seen.

I cant even express the feels I got when the episode title “the sound of her wings came on the screen” it was like hearing a song you use to love and havent heard for a long time. Like so happy and nostalgic for me🥹

5th and 6th episodes were so unique for this type of tv series but also so BRILLIANT!💫

Great video. This was my favorite ep. Seems like everyone can relate to something in the story on a deep emotional level. Not much on tv can do that.

Watched this episode the other night and was actually taken aback by how beautiful it was. Very excited to finish the rest of the season

Thank you so much for this, it really was just perfect. Especially the bit about the stranger who didn’t want to die, his story was perfectly told and I love his relationship with dream.

My favorite scene in the entire show is the fight between dream & Lucifer. It's just amazing

This was by far my favorite episode. Every time I rewatch I end up crying, but I always finish it with a big grin as well. It's such a life affirming episode in what is an incredibly deep, thoughtful story about dreams, hope and what they mean to each of us individually. Great video analysis!

When the episoded ended, I was in pure awe. I can't even explain exactly why, but I consider that episde on the most beautiful things ever put to the screen

TEN BILLION PERCENT YES! i said the same thing when i was watching the show, episode 6 is the BEST EPISODE OF THE WHOLE DAMN SHOW, AND BY A LARGE MARGIN TOOi even told my dad, who stopped watching after the third episode that, now that he knows the basics to watch episode 6, as its the best of the bunch, nothing else is really needed either, its just perfection.

this series just has layers upon layers of meaning. i read the comics at different stages in my life and each time I visit, a different perspective becomes available. though the Diner episode (24/7) is, in my opinion, the best episode - i will place this in my most heart warming category. those who have experienced someone pass (I can't go into it as it's still raw for me even if it's been almost a year) and try to begin to live again - will definitely relate to this episode. no matter how you interpret it. i'm so glad Neil was involved in this because I don't think it would've turned out to be this good if he hadn't

the more perfect thing, it came after a darker, more depraved 24 hrs episode, this one was filled with so much hope and maybe the best parts about being human, which what the sandman comics do so well, explore humanity.

This is hands down one of the best episodes of TV I have seen in a while. Loved this one a lot

The episode was suprisingly my favourite by quite a bit. Neils depiction of Death makes me feel calm rather than stressed out when I think about how sudden it all can end. And the dynamic between Dream and Death is just great to watch.

I've never been aware of Sandman, other than the basics, but this series has been a wonderful trip into a new and beautiful world, and this episode goes down as one of the greatest things I've ever seen, More please Netflix

This was my favorite episode as well. There is so much that we take for granted whether it's a another day, like the people who come into contact with Death, or simple the people who are in our lives and expect that to never change, Dream and the Immortal. We all need to take a moment to take stock of our lives and the people we fill it with because nothing is promised.

I really enjoyed your commentary on the SANDMAN series. I was enthralled by the comic in my youth, it was so different and compelling. I was introduced to SANDMAN when I saw an advert in a DC comic for the new series in the late 80's, I completed an order form that was printed directly into another comic, cut the form out and mailed with a check to DC Comics New York, New York. I got the check to pay for the subscription from my mother after I convinced her it was a wise investment because it would help me with my reading. Then in about 3 months, sometime in 1989 I started receiving a monthly comic for SANDMAN in the mail. Considering I grew up in Alaska, the comic was usually rather thrashed upon arrival but I loved the it anyway. This Netflix series is done very well, great casting and it stays true to the comic. Amazing adaptation really.

Paul, your synopsis was on point. I appreciate the recap.

Hob is one of my favorite characters, w his love of life & unending humor. An overused theme going around now is death as a temporary visit to a hotel or a train & almost every death is a minor inconvenience. Fun show

This episode is the best hour of tv I’ve seen in a very long time. The 2 storylines, the acting, the music. Just perfect!

In episode 5 I did not rewind, didn't check my phone, and watched it so focused I felt like a day had passed, amazed to the core

I think I said last week after watching it for the first time, that this may be the single greatest episode of television ever! What makes this show fantastic is the fact that each episode is self contained.

So glad you covered this episode and felt the same way I did. I was stun locked after the episode ended, it was that good. While the rest of the episodes never quite matched it, it terms of story telling I'm just glad I got to watch this.

One of the best episodes of television I've ever seen, and what inspired me to buy and read the books.

My favorite one by far! Good recap lad.

I'm glad someone talked about it. No over the top action, or dramatic settings, just great dialogue/writing. I loved how thrown off Morpheus was when he thought that hob gadling would beg for death only to see him say "I have so much to live for."

I thought it a good decision to mention in their conversations, Hobb informed Morbius, he was investing in the slave trade and in their next meeting, Hobb agreed with Morbius of how he later, regretting his involvement in that trade.

This is actually my favorite episode! I just wanted to say to whoever is out there and sees this, doesn't it remind you all of a 90's tv show? from the way its filmed to the credits at the beginning it makes me feel like I'm in a time machine like remember how the shows that were shown on Scifi or USA in the afternoon use to look years ago? I think of sliders, highlander, the crow, charmed etc Sandman looks like it would fit right in. Also Tom Sturridge resembles Stuart Townsend as Lestat

This whole season is perfect There better be a season 2, I can *dream* and my dreams are more powerful than a burning star

I lost my brother a couple months ago, and when I watched this episode it directly reminds me of him, he was a sweet, caring and loving brother. This episode is really heart touching.

Perfect analysis on this scene.

I love this series you're doing and the reasons you give are well written

Hob is my favorite character throughout the comics. I love how, even at his lowest points, he never gives up on life. Yes, things may be bad at any given moment, but at the same time... he never loses sight of how good life _can_ be if you just see it through. I certainly wouldn't say no to a deal like his. I was beyond thrilled that they incorporated his story into episode 6 (issue 6 being one of my other favorite stories)... it's just a thing of beauty.

The episode was outstanding. Felt like two one-act plays following Dream. Would love to adapt this episode into a stageplay

I never read the Sandman, but E6 was my favorite episode. I like getting the background and seeing development of the character sequences, especially this one.

I relate deeply on this episode. 🥺😭

I love collecting 1st appearances in comics. When I got Death’s first appearance and read it. I got more that I expected and thought it was brilliant.

As a history and mythology lover, I loved every second of this episode

This ep was so deep watching how death just collecting her victims was touching

I like how dream looks like the grim reaper but he shapes the living world, and Death looks like an angel of dreams but takes people to the afterlife, a perfect re imagining , also I think Carl Jung would of loved this show.

This was my favorite episode of the series. Totally nailed it. I loved how death was a cheerful lady that provided relief to people that died. I also loved Hob Gadlin's positivity and thirst for life.

I looooved this episode. Totally wasn't crying either lol. I remember going to this one big bookstore to look for I think(is) is The Sandman Library editions. I would get one and sit on the floor and read until mom would come in the store slightly annoyed lol. I could only buy one of the books.. which I still have. The Wake. Then later on I saved some more to buy Dream Hunters illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano. If they are able to make that.. and make it in the style of Amano..... *deep breaths*

I would legit watch a spin off of just dream and hob hanging out and bar hopping.
