Sandman is an adaptation of the acclaimed DC's Vertigo comic book by Neil Gaiman. The story centers on Dream, one of the seven Endless, the rulers of the world of dreams.
And almost copy paste word for word from
The comics.

Hmmm. They've so changed so much from the books. So much.
Are you referring to the bonus episodes or the original ten?.
Because apart from the look of the characters and a bit of wokeness, the script was very much copy paste from the words in the comic.
Entire episodes were word for word from the comics.
For example, his meeting with death/his sister or the scene at the bar. Even much of the hotel was from the comics. Yes, they modified or removed some parts, but thatÂ’s any tv show for you.
I've only watched the first 5, and I actually had my Absolute edition on my lap, which I was flicking through as I was watching. If you're saying the script followed the comics word for word, I must have different comics.
You must have been watching a different show been reading a different comic.
But the comic was first published in 1989, and that's kind of how he talks in it.
The words, yeah. Those are fine. But the voice? Weird half-mumbled pseudo-introspective tone?
It doesn't bother me at all, I think it fits his character.

I'd say the show was overall fine. But is nobody gonna mention the way the guy talks? Like a poor imitation of how he seems to think an edgy 90s movie protagonist should talk, which would already be bad enough if done well. Took me forever to get used to.
