![]() Netflix’s The Sandman acts as a direct adaptation of the “Preludes & Nocturnes" and "The Doll's House" stories from Gaiman’s The Sandman graphic novel series and, outside of updating the time in which it takes place and a couple key changes here and there, it’s nearly a page-for-page take on the beloved stories. ![]() Syson and Gaiman went to work on the casting for this series and it absolutely shows. Boyd Holbrook’s Corinthian is every bit as suave and spooky as he’s meant to be no one can call out Dream while showcasing the deepest kind of empathy like Kirby Howell Baptiste’s Death Gwendoline Christie’s Lucifer is as imposing as you expect and Mason Alexander Park’s Desire is simply delicious. There truly isn’t a bad performance in the bunch. Somehow, he’s not alone in the exceptional portrayal of character, either. ![]() ![]() Dream’s starry eyes may be gone (and even they make appearances from time to time) but any doubt that the character would be embodied here should be laid to rest. From his delivery and speech cadences to the tiny, almost unintentional smirk that comes when Morpheus finds himself amused in spite of himself… it’s impossible to imagine another in his place. Seriously, it’s actually unreal how good he is in this role. ![]()
