Now like many others I spent years and years waiting for a live action version of Sandman. The graphic novel is something that's always been close to my heart and just after I finished Uni I ended up getting a minimum wage job in a shop working about 30 hours a week. This gave me about £800 a month and after bills and food came out I was left with a little bit to spend on comics. Now at the time DC were slowly in the process of rolling out their gigantic Sandman Omnibuses. These came in at about £80 each which was a lot of money for me at the time. I saved and saved and saved up for them and eventually bought the first volume. I burned through it in the space of a weekend and even though I'd had the work hyped up to me quite a lot, I was still completely blown away by it. I then saved up and bought the second volume and the book just seemed to get better and better.
Now sadly due to my money issues at the time I had to sell both books but they've always held a close place next to my heart and everytime I hear about Sandman I think back to those days of when I was living week to week enjoying the simple things in life.
Hearing that Netflix was adapting a live action version of Sandman really piqued my interest and incase you don't know, bringing it to screen has been a massive endeavor for the creators. If you listen to the podcast Best Movies Never Made then you'll know they did a big breakdown of all the original scripts and it's clear there's been several people trying to get this off the ground.
Initially pitched as a movie it's now a ten episode tv show that stays very faithful to the comics.
Nowhere is this seen more than in episode 6 which adapts The Sound Of Her Wings and also Dolls house Part 4.
These are two of the best issues in the entire run and the reason that Netflix put them together is because they both study life and death.
In the first part of the entry we watch as Dream joins his sister Death as she goes about her daily routine of meeting people after they pass away. The second following Morpheus as he meets a man who has been granted immortality on the same date every one hundred years.
Now the first of these always struck a chord with me when I was reading it. Death is something that we all must face and it's still a subject that we know very very little about. People spend their entire lives either living with faith or in the absence of it and we all have our own thoughts and beliefs on what will be waiting for us.

    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.

Hobb hears it and giggles before the guy finishes the joke as Hobb has already known that joke for so long. Writing touches like these are what make a great episode even greater.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

    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

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.

I could not see it mentioned on your channel, I would like to recommend - Only murders in the building. I have to admit it's not what I usually watch but I found myself taken in right from the first episode. It is currently nearly completing it's second season and once again I think it's fabulous TV. I hope you will take my recommendation into consideration and give it a try. All the best.

It shows how if you live long enough, you can be both a saint and sinner. Thank you, Neil Gamin for your storytelling. 👍

    If there's more seasons, we can see Hobb later date an African American woman which makes him reflect on his past in slave trade even more, I hope we'll get to it. Watching him going through an immortal's version of midlife crisis while his girlfriend just enjoys her time at Renaissance fair was a thing of beauty in the comics.

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

    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.
