The Guardian

This dark, engrossing comic book adaptation is utterly lavish, and features an emotional depth that’s almost unheard of in fantasy epics.

A.V. Club

This is damning with faint praise, but Netflix’s The Sandman... is one of those “this is as close as anyone could’ve hoped for” adaptations.

Empire Magazine

Tom Sturridge, not yet a major name, is pitch-perfect in making Morpheus flesh and blood...

Independent

For better or worse (and let’s face it, it’s for worse) The Sandman is aimed squarely at comic-book fans.

The Telegraph

The cast is the stuff of dreams.

Variety

Rest assured: Netflix’s The Sandman hews unusually close to its source material in terms of content.

Hollywood Reporter

A perfectly fine adaptation that prioritises fidelity over creativity.

IGN

It’s as faithful of an adaptation as it could be, and, outside of the fact that it may go over a few new viewers’ heads, it’s just about perfect.

USA Today

Excruciatingly slow and dull if not outright boring, Sandman is a perplexing failure.

The Times

Well-starred, boosted by an excellent cast... and steeped in menace (and a lot of swearing).
