There is a person called the Sandman.
Even the creator of the project didn't want anyone to adapt it. The stars have aligned and the first season of The Sandman is live on the service.
Fans and critics alike are liking the review of The Sandman. The show was praised as a faithful adaptation of the classic Neil Gaiman story, with the show currently having an 85% approval rating from the critics and a 98% approval rating from the audience.
According to a glowing TIME review, this is one of the best small-screen comic adaptation ever made.
There are ten episodes that range in length from 37 minutes to 54 minutes. It's standard, though not "Disney superhero short" where all the recent series have been no more than six episodes each. Even though it's based on a DC comic, it's far more fantasy than a superhero.

If the series does well on the streaming service, it could return for more. I think they would relish a hit like this, and it's icing on the cake that they made work, which is, of course, Jupiter's Legacy.
Is it one of the reasons it works. Neil Gaiman finally agreed to help with the development of the adaptation. It has taken 35 years for this adaptation to be made, as it has gone through many different stages of development. Why did he switch to this format? Blending the big budgets of movies with the long-form stories of long strings of episodes was one of the ways television changed.
The idea that a 3,000-page story can be turned into 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 hours of quality television is a wonderful thing.
For now, this seems like a win for everyone, including the fans of the original and the team that worked on it, which has needed victories in the face of harder times. The Sandman looks like a hit, and could turn into something like 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 hours of quality television over the course of the next few years. It will have to be seen.
