Based on the award-winning comic book by Neil Gaiman, which originally ran from 1989 to 1996 and was published by DC Comics under their Vertigo imprint, Netflix' The Sandman tells the story of Morpheus, aka Dream of the Endless. Returning to his realm after a century of imprisonment, Dream finds a changed world full of new challenges and old monsters. Beautiful, ethereal, and one of the most beloved graphic novel series of all time, The Sandman finally appears on the small screen on Netflix, with ten episodes of the first season dropping on August 5, 2022.
Since Sandman is in large part a story about stories, we’ve turned over reviewing duties for the series over to none other than the dramatis personae of the first story itself: The House of Mystery and its prime resident, Cain, together with The House of Secrets and its caretaker, Abel. With some help from Joseph Santini and Mikey Heinrich.
But just who is who remains a mystery. Or perhaps a secret.
