#Sandman #EndingExplained #Breakdown
So the sandman comic takes place in the actual DC comics superhero universe. So characters like the martian manhunter and swamp thing do crossover with this story. But the series was smart to distance itself from the superhero universe. We even see at one point that the DC comics heroes are products in this universe just like they are in ours.
For instance, in the comics, Dr. D in the diner is the justice league villain dr destiny. Sbut they reimagined him perfect in this series, in a way that ties him to Morpehu’s original captors.
So Dream is one of seven beings called the endless. These beings kind of embody the different aspects of humanity, or all intelligent life. They are destiny, death, dream, desire, despair, and delirium.
Yes, but one of them took off a few hundred years earlier, and I don’t want to spoil anything about them.
Allright, so each of these seven have th eir own realms that they maintain. IN the case of dreams, he is the lord of stories, and the dreams we have when we’re asleep. So if you go someplace in a dream, what you’re actually doing is visiting his metaphysical realm. Every dream or nightmare you have is someone who the dream lord created.
One of these nightmares, the corinthian, leaves the dreaming realm so he can murder humanity at will. He likes the freedom, and feels empowered by preying on human beings.
Before Dream can erase Corinthian, a group of rich old men in England accidentally imprison him for decades. This causes the dreaming to fall apart. In the waking world, people begin to fall asleep for decades. All of this is perhaps a commentary on humanity in the 20th century, and how our reliance on technology has inhibited our ability to see the world through a more fantastical lens.
Dream breaks out of his prison, but is weakened. He spends the season gathering his tools where he placed portions of his power.
During this time, he wins back his helm from hell, embarrassing Lucifer in the process. [you embarrassed me]. Lucifer is played brilliantly by Gwenoldine Christie. You look at her and you really do see this beautiful, perfect warrior from heaven.
She has a plan to get back at Dream-and heaven-that is so perfect and devious, I can’t wait to see it play out in season 2.
Also, most importantly-dream is an a-hole.housnd dog years ago he fell in love with an african princess, and when she rejected him he cursed her to hell-just because she hurt his feelings, and embarrassed him [you embarrassed me in front of her]
After Dream re-acquires his tools, we enter the final arc of the season-where things start to get really confusing.
First let’s talk about the Corinthians. He was created by Drea, to be a nightmare. But nightmares serve a function to help humanity-they expose us to our worst gears, so we can face them [dream saying this]. The problem is, the corinthian stopped living to serve humanity, and wanted to serve only himself.
He breaks away from dream to eat the eyeballs out of random people’s heads. He does this for a few reasons. One, eyes are symbolic of the soul-and the corinthian has no soul. But eyes are also a way to create empathy. To understand someone, we look into their eyes. But, instead of eyes, the corinthian only has teeth. So instead of seeing others, and relating to people with eye contact-he only desires to consume others. He can never connect with a human being on an emotional level-he just wants to consume them.
So Corinthian is also a metaphor of how in today’s society we don't feel empathy for one another-and we’re all just rampaging consumers.
The Corinthian’s goal is to stay alive. He wants to keep dream imprisoned so he’s free to walk the earth. And for the 20th century he quietly killed thousands of people, ensuring an army of serial killers-who call themselves collectors. These are people that the corinthian has infected with his evil. None of these people can feel empathy for their fellow humans-they just want to use and consume other people to make themselves feel complete. Hence the name-collectors.

Do you have any more questions?
YES! Thanks for doing this show! It was perfect! I have no questions.
Keep branchin out!
Where is Spider-man?
I do have a question now. I just remembered I asked you to cover this, is that why you did? I wonder how many people asked you to do this Sandman video. Oh, I have another question. Can you do more of these?
A question that bothered me from the comics and now carries over here: why did Death herself never try to help Dream while he was imprisoned? The other siblings I could understand, but Death was closer to Dream than the rest. She would have known where he was, she would have even been in the room when Roderick Burgess died.
I loved that Galt was using her power to provide Rose's brother with badguys, tiny nightmares, for him to face and defeat. The poor kid lived in a waking nightmare, so she gave him a place where he could feel powerful. Also loved Eddie Karanja's performance as little Sandman.
The actor who depicts Desire is lethal. The interplay between Desire and Dream is electric. Well done!
But they should have been better looking. I always pictured Desire as being nearly perfectly gorgeous.
@@ceasarsaran8573 they are
Both myself and my brother are heterosexual and we found the actor very pretty. Let's also not forget beauty is different for everyone. The most important thing is the performance was fantastic and the actor looks like the character their playing. The smile was so Cheshire like but so cold😍
@@ceasarsaran8573 isnt beauty subjective anyway? i thought the actor was gorgeous and was a perfect casting choice, just androgynous enough to be seen as desirable for either gender.
I agree - I found Dream and Desire very appealing - They are both gorgeous
@@ceasarsaran8573 heck, even me, a straught dude, find him gorgeous or attractive
How about an all-out spoilers video with all the references, easter eggs, and hints at future storylines, and which ones do we think will be adapted or not?
I would also like to see that video!!
Please. I’m in need of spoilers.
@@sarahshaikh2548
I mean...the comics have been around for 30yrs and Neil Gaiman is really vocal about what he's planning
Yuck.
I couldn't believe how immersed I was in these episodes. Never read the comics but the overall span of fantasy, Sci fi was extraordinary. The every 100 years episode was unbelievable, it had me thinking of my own reality while being taken on a fantastic journey...did I mention I like this show?
It's probably easier to be immersed when everyone isn't white like in the comics. How does someone write about universal aspects of human nature and yet only involve one narrow color of people? Same thing with Tolkien. Talk about small mindedness.
I really liked that episode. There was just something about it. Dream found a friend…
@@dangerfly Very true. Love how they changed that up heheeheh.
@@dangerfly Tolkien based Middle Earth on England and Northern Europe of the Middle Ages. Not too many POC living in Northern Europe in the Middle Ages. You know what race totally dominated Northern Europe during that time, white people. No need for a high melanin content in that climate even less when you live under a mountain. So the addition of black dwarves and black elves makes little to no sense. If you want more diversity include the Corsairs of Umbar or you can create your own fantasy world and have all the diverse representation your heart desires.
@@DjDeepfry1 No one after Copernicus learned a damn thing. The heliocentric model of the solar system should have taught us to stop being so obnoxiously self-centered. The Earth isn't the center of the universe so the Endless shouldn't have anything to do with ridiculously human-centric aspects like Dream, Despair, Death etc. You have fundamental things being represented by human forms being represented by Caucasians. No one sees a problem with that at all?
Most things in the universe aren't even alive so how is Dream something so fundamental and eternal? It's sooo ego-centric and self-important. We should have moved past this crap a long time ago, yet here we are inserting a more diverse cast into LotR and Sandman instead of taking that intent to its full logical conclusion.
Think about it. The Soul stone in the Marvel universe is a fundamental aspect. You might as well have a two hour long movie listing all the ways humans are so important and awesome. It's embarrassing.
I friggin LOVED SANDMAN. I bawled my eyes out in episode 8 though. Solid season 1, can't wait for more. One of the best DC live action offerings to date.
I completly agree! But i hated the first episode though, they spent time building up the Burgess and Ethel but they don't matter to the story at all.....
@@Mukation Burgess will probably be relevant on the next season I guess? When they want to defeat Morpheus they might bring up the method Burgess used, so his name or work might appear sooner or later and this can be applicable to Constantine too.
Well said they could have Burgess in under 15minutes
@@Mukation They definitely matter, and you wouldn't have a story without them.
@@Mukation Put some respect on Charles Dance's screen time you ungrateful wretch 🤣🤣. You will take all he is willing to give and be grateful, whilst begging for more!!!
I initially thought the ending of the Lucifer vs Dream battle is a bit cheesy, hope defeating anti-life and Lucifer not being able to think of something that can kill hope. After re-watching that scene, I think Lucifer was not able to think anything the can kill hope because Lucifer themselves rely on hope. Lucifer has been described as having an indomitable will. Lucifer really needs that indomitable will and hope. They need their indomitable will to wage war against Heaven and the ability to hope that they can win. If Lucifer countered Dream with something that can kill hope, they're essentially saying that their own ability to hope can be killed. Maybe by not responding, Lucifer is saying that their own ability to hope can't be killed.
I prefer hope rather than love which was used annoyingly often in recent sci fi movies
The visuals 😍
They've been sticking to the comics
Lucifer show up twice in comic only and it wasn't a fight. Sandman stand no chance against him.
That is the correct way to understand the scene. Dream check-mated Lucifer. If she told everyone what the killer of hope is she is also telling everyone how to kill herself.
This is what we get when the people who created the source material produce an adaptation, really liked the series and can't wait for season 2 knowing what's going to happen
I was thinking the same.
I loved Dream and Lucifer's battle. "I am a universe. All-embracing. Life-nuturing." "I am anti-life. The darkness at the end of all things." "I am hope." It's so good!
I loved this show. One of the best comic book adaptation (a DC title might I add) to date. I really pays to honor the source material. I hope Netflix gives us season 2.
The first 2 seasons should be feeling like a DC title. I'm looking forward to getting into stories when it changed into the Vertigo imprint. That's when it really earns it's TV-MA rating. In some cases, bordering on R-rating. I felt they really held back in this first season. A bit disappointed how they introduced Despair in contrast to Desire, but it's understandable they didn't want to get too graphic. I'm looking forward to seeing the intro to Delight/Delirium and Destruction. Not sure how they going to do Destiny without having an episode that has little to no dialog.
So.....we going forget the fact that satan is played by a girl? That's your idea of honoring the source material? Many parts of this season didn't really follow what I remember of the old comics.
@@dragoonofdarkness1826 Personally since the show Lucifer was based on the Lucifer character that was introduced in the Sandman comics I think they should have used his actor from Lucifer as well as the same one that played Mazakien in Lucifer too.
@@dragoonofdarkness1826 Maybe watch an interview with Neil Gaiman? The original character is androgynous, and the actor is portraying Lucifer as androgynous.
@@dragoonofdarkness1826 you don't have to copy everything to honor the source material. I mean, Death in the comics is a pale goth, Lucian in the comics was a white old man... Because you're adapting it into a different medium, there are going to be artistic liberties you will want to take. And as long as you're not twisting lore or completely changing the story then you're still honoring the source material. Plus, me personally, the changes they made are brilliant, while there are some changes that bugged me a little, it wasn't that big too pull me out of my immersion.
I thought the entire series was note perfect. Episode 6: The Sound of Her Wings made me cry like I haven't cried over a TV show since the series finale of Parks and Rec. There was never a single moment where I was bored or thought the story was dragging. All the acting was just perfection. I couldn't have asked for more from this show.
I could not agree more !!!
It dragged with the dream vortex. It went down from episode 7
Nada didn't "just reject" him. That's really glossing over what happened there.
They were together and he asked her to be his queen and in response she threw herself off a cliff and killed herself in front of him.
I think anyone would find that a little difficult to get over.
I too thought it was a perfect show. Each episode had a beginning, middle and an end and it was amazing to see and experience. I enjoyed watching it and was thoroughly entertained.
The first adaptation of any kind where the casting doesn't bothered me at all. It's 100 % the fact that Neil Gainman was so involved in this. He knew best who to play his written characters.
same here. The writing feels so natural that i didn't really cared if they did change how the character looks from the comics. I think it's cuz they didn't go out of their way to advertise "oh this is a new age we need to be political correct" or whatever. They are here to tell a story, and all the characters feel natural to the world, so nothing really felt off.
I thought the Sandman was fantastic! What an excellent live action adaptation. I honestly that this Netflix series wouldn’t follow the comics so closely considering how the source material can get real trippy and surreal but I was pleasantly surprised. The producers/show runners even managed to find actors who not only looked the part but played their roles perfectly. It’s not too often where we get something like this. I seriously hope the Sandman does well so we can get a second season. As always, your breakdowns and explanations are excellent!
Loved it. I saw a behind the scenes video of Gaiman on the set and he was in awe. He said it was like walking through his own imagination. Can't get better than that. Let's hope Netflix sees this story through to the end.
I completely enjoyed this show. I haven't read the comics but I definitely plan on it now. I think the casting was perfect & it was an absolute joy to watch with the imagery.
I agree & just started reading !
Where can I read the sandman comics? Loved the show omg I need moreeee
Honestly the show met my expectations for the old game, and exceeded them with the 24/ 7 adaptation. One of the better comc book adaptation.
24/7 made me realize why a series makes more sense for The Sandman instead of trying to cram so much into a movie. Keanu's Constantine was okay but there's just too much story for John Constatine to condense into one movie. Sandman makes for great Anthology Series while still having loose connection to a larger arc. 24/7 is proof of how well this can work.
@@riopato2009 I've always loved anthology series' that has a huge arc hidden in the background to be resolved in the penultimate or final episode. I feel like most popular series' these days are basically a very long movie with breaks in between climaxes. Either that or it's just a compilation of one-off episodes with no connection to one another except for some little easter eggs and references. I really like the early modern-Doctor Who era for this reason.
I really didn’t expect this series to be so good. Even shed some tears in few episodes. Really well made and looking forward to season 2.
neil gaiman: find me an actor to play the main character that looks like me 40 years ago…
Desire was actually my favorite character in this first season. What a great representation!!!!! The series was fantastic and I feel stayed very true to the Gaiman style.
Same 😼 !
Eye and wardrobe candy YES but not enough to invest me emotionally. Sure there will be more.
This was more than I ever expected, absolutely brilliant. Glad Gaiman waited until tech was strong enough to rep his vision.
Episode 6 was absolutely perfect! even just on it's own... This is my favorite adaptation to date hands down
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
Just a note too. When we see Jed as "Sandman" he is wearing a version of Dreams jewel on his neck. Hob probably painted the arrows on the fence if the Inn. A comic tie-in (one of many I know), Matthew is from Swamp Thing. And IF they do it Barbie and Donna (Judy's gf from the Diner) will meet at some point.
that was a majestic depiction of the series!
the part of when is person is unable to feel empathy and connect with others, how the person feels incomplete
and wants/needs more is pretty much what's wrong with our society
it's great how art reflects life
but it needs to decoded and understood
Very good job man
cheers from Athens, Greece
The Corinthian actor did such a great job. Epic performance
Truly amazing how your dog is always able to ask the most relevant & enlightening questions ..
He literally took the whole thing from another youtuber
It's Called The Why files.......So don't Give em too much credit smh
A haunting fever dream of a series. Sturrbridge is the perfect Morpheus. Luv that his acting is subtle and not over the top, which matches what Gaiman says about the character having to carry the weight of every dream ever dreamed. Amazing aesthetics and design. Season 2 needs to get officially greenlit.
I would have liked to have seen more of Desire and Lucifer, it felt like they were barely in it. But I did enjoy it overall and looking forward to season 2
Everytime Desire is on screen it feels like a MV(music video) is abt to start 👀
Bingewatched the series and I'm hungry for more.
“…the Corinthian is a metaphor for how in today’s society, we don’t feel empathy for one another, and we’re all just rampant consumers.” -cut to commercial.
Well played, Ryan. Well played.
I think the pep talk scene was necessary since at that time Dream was pretty unsure about his abilities because he had been recently trapped by a human and now he was facing one of the most powerful being in existence.
The raven talking to him reminds him about humans and something he witnessed about them "hope".
Oh yes, please make more videos about Sandman. It's been ages since I read them. Loved the show.
Always heard about how Sandman was a great read back when it first came out but I wasn't ready then for the depths that Neil Gaiman was telling. Once I saw interviews of how deeply Neil was involved in this series, I knew it was time to give it a chance...and I'm glad I did!
The story of the Dream Lord was ahead of its time and was shackled by initially being connected to DC Supes IMO It deserved to be retold in this manner (10 eps vs. a 2.5hr movie) to give the characters better context as the story moves along. Not only does the invention of streaming benefit this content, but the world is more accepting of fluid identities (what I meant by "ahead of its time") = The story was more appreciable due to the fact such diverse representation was incorporated to tell it = great job!
This was an amazing recap and analysis, Ryan! Thank you for not spoiling future storylines even tho I knew exactly what you were referring to every time you said you were not going to spoil a future event (I’ve read the entire run of the original series)
Gonna watch this video when I'm done. Thx for posting! ❤️
Thanks, that was a good recap. You explained several things I didn't know. I don't like the screen shots from other media though, they were distracting and they didn't match.
I have to compliment you and thank you for the best review I have read thus far.
Thank you for pointing out the important characters and events without any spoilers
This was very informative. Thanks a lot
I'm glad this breakdown exists, I really wanna read comics and wanted no spoilers for future seasons. Great video!
I love the fact that you know as much as I about this story (one of very few DC would allow to end) and won't give spoilers. I've never heard you say, I won't go on to tell you , in any other video. Kudos and a dog treat!
Oh great video once again! Cheers!
I knew nothing about Sandman as this is past my comic generation but I absolutely fricking adored it!! I cried during the angel of death episode. This was beautifully done and I had no idea where any of it was going. SO GOOD!
Sandman is brilliant all the episodes 8/10 perfect casting all the characters 🔥👌
I finished the 1st season and can't wait for the next one. Thank you for the explanations, like how Desire were connected with Nightmare etc...
You know, I'm pretty intrigued by your idea that the Vortex was breaking down the walls between the Endless' realms in addition to the barriers between dreamers' minds. Absent Brute and Glob's very particular scheme from the comic, it's a good way of headcanoning how Lyta and Hector can meet in her dreams.
Also, I don't think Desire raped Unity in the show. They seem to have changed things so they more seduce her in dreams and got her pregnant through a consensual relationship much as Hector and Lyta conceived Daniel.
Hey, the mention of Daniel is a spoiler! Viewers don't know yet! I doubt the show will get this far but it's possible. Also the show suggested that Desire seduced Unity in her dreams but that would mean Desire crossed Morpheus's Realm while he was imprisoned, that would've broken the kingdom rule. The books didn't break that rule and Desire raped Unity instead so I can see how Ryan got mixed up between the books and show since he's a fan of the books.
With Morpheus unable to enforce the rules do you really think Desire would respect them? That seems out of character to me.
False pretenses, but by American law “consensual” 🤷🏽♀️
It's much deeper than it seems
Can't wait for season 2🥲
Who ever is playing Dream is really handsome ;)
@MenaceInc :D
The actor looks mid without that haircut ngl..
I think you could say, he is the man of your...dreams?
Glad your doing this. I loved the show. Ordered the comics.
Omg amazing show! Already ordered the graphic novel to read it, can’t wait for the next season. Praying that Netflix won’t decide to cancel it like they’ve done with other great shows
id never read the comic and thought the first 3 or for episodes were plodding along in its world-building, but once it all clicked for me around ep 5 i was thoroughly engrossed. i think im gonna have to buy the compendiums now.
This is such a good breakdown of the storyline.
Loved it! Can’t wait for S2
Thank you, Ryan! 🗭
Loved it can't wait for season 2 and I will check out the comics👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This show was released barely 24 hours ago, yet you guys have had the video up for almost 24 hours. It baffles me how you are able to churn these things out so quickly.
Fantastic synopsis!
Show was awesome! Imaginative and superb cinematography
I didn't know about the DC comics, when I watched this on Netflix I tought it became my favorite immediately. The story is extra ordinary. I feel I am watching a movie out of this world I feel like it's so real and I would like to speak with Morpheus the Dream Lord. After that I am surprised it was made by DC comics.
i think your recap / explanation videos are the best ones. I don't know if it's your pleasant voice, the cute dog, or just the best writing. I know a LOT of channels feel the need to explain the endings of literally everything, everywhere, all of the time, but your videos seem more rounded and less condescending. You certainly earn the upvote everytime.
The why files!!!!! He literally stole their whole show talkinG animal an all n this shows no where near as GooD as The Why Files smh so Dont give em too much credit
This was good off to find the comics!
I've never been aware of the comic book series and grateful for that because I never knew what to expect. Though I completely understand a fan's excitement in seeing it come to life. I was completely immersed in this series though there were episodes I found cringy and was tempted to fast forward I gratefully held on. Great review! Thanks!
I thought it was magnificent and well done it was missing the full telling of Nada’s story but I think they’ll eventually get to it, it did not dawn on me that was Hector Hall & Hippolyta Hall where the Heroes silver scarab /Dr Fate/Sandman and Fury it was so long ago when I read it they did a great job adopting and adapting the story.
Mr Sandman bring me a dream.
Amazing show, loved it
I never heard of the sandman comics ..but I'll be reading it now ...loved the series!! Neil is brilliant
I absolutely loved this adaptation! I read the graphic novels in the mid 90s, and loved them. To see them brought to life like this is just fabulous. I can't wait for season 2.
Sturridge/Dream and Matthew remind me of Vampire Hunter D and his hand being. Wonder which came first. Loving the show, I am hope.
At the cereal convention we follow a red pair of heels with gold lions a few times in that episode. I think It was desire.
The diner scene was awesome 👌
Nada is in hell because of how she tried to manipulate Dream. She was used as a tool in a early Desire and Despair plot. This is loosely mentioned in a conversation of Desire and Despair.
Would also like to recommend here the beautiful audio adaptation of Sandman on Audible. It has a stacked cast headed by James McAvoy as the title character. Him and Sturridge in live action really do embody the character so well. Having recently finished the audiobooks to then see this in live action has made me a fan. Can't wait for the next season's story arcs.
Also, the motivation for desire to do what it does is... because desire IS desire. It wants. It doesn't care if it attains what it wants - all desire does is want. Dreams imprisonment allowed desire to infiltrate the dreaming to cause nightmare and dreams to want things beyond their original design. Remember - there isn't necessarily a ultimate goal to desires actions. The actions are the goal themselves.
The Sandman was amazing from start to finish. Such a well done series. My only critique was that it was too short. Can’t wait fro the next season.
So happy that more of Neil Gaiman's work is being adapted. If they don't make a Goldie and a Martin Tenbones plush, that would be a huge missed opportunity for DC/Warner to take my money
Amen!
Could you do more the sandman videos?
What did you think of season 1?
9.5/10
1-6 is very good 7-10 is ok but when ep 11 drop
Loved it!!
@@ApachESnoWs I think episode 6 was meant to be two seperate shorter episodes, in keeping with the single issue comics, but in the end they chickened and glued them together, to hit a more normal episode lenght.
Absolutely fantastic. After the sh@t show that was the latest Resident Evil series I was worried but this is how to do it Netflix!
And hopefully introduce new fans to the graphic novels
Loved the Twin peaks references
Maybe worth noting that at least in the comics the "rule" against the Endless spilling family blood isn't one they've imposed upon themselves, merely one that Desire is seeking to take advantage of. I won't go into more detail to respect the need not to spoil comics details, but it does wind up tying back into something else in this season. Uncle Neil rather brilliantly seeded so much of the ultimate story from the very beginning and the show looks to be following suit while remixing certain elements! Beautiful adaptation of a masterpiece (though agreed on Matthew's "pep talk". 😜)!
It also calls to the Fates telling Rose "at least you didn't meet us as the Kindly One's" and that really pulls Lyta into it.
@@danielk7774 oh yeah, and that even heightens the dramatic irony in this version since it wasn't Lyta who interrupted that vision in the comics!
I don't know anything about this series, what all I know is that I am certain that Ryan will use the Kevin Bacon clip more often in his future videos. It's so hilarous :D
Baby = Law of Suprise*
*Witcher reference
Dreams being a world of possibility reminds me of "Dreams save us" from SUPERMAN vs THE ELITE
I loved this sooooooooo much. Dont care about anything i didnt like just show me where to buy a tiny Corinthian skull and I will be smiling forever. Its my favorite comic of all time brought to life. The end. So giddy!
My thought exactly about the skull lol
It was awesome haven’t read the comic but I did like how it seemed separate from dc besides a few references definitely worth multiple seasons
Minor quibble. Nala wasn't a princess. She was a queen.
Awesome skew
OMG YES! We felt the same way that you describe in your intro. We are huge fans of the comics and have been since they first came out. This adaptation was so good that we couldn’t stop talking about it for hours after we finished bingeing it 😊 my spouse remarked that some of the scenes so perfectly captured the comic that it felt as if we’d already seen them.
I just hope there is a season 2.
Awesome show
So far the adaptation has lived up to my expectations entirely and it is just AWESOME!! I read these books when I was a teenager, and now here we are 30 years later and it's all done so beautifully!! I'm really impressed by it. The few changes have been either not important, or for the better. Like how Brute & Glob are made into one being with a better motivation. Or more recently how Calliope was given a more Grecian appearance than was in the comics, and Dream is less cold to her desire to visit him in the Dreaming.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who disliked the pep talk by Mathew. It undermined Dream’s intelligence and genuinely made the moment feel like a CW show.
A masterpiece show. There were a few things changed from the comicbook, but the TV adaptation was great with scenes that literally came from the book. Waiting for Season 2 to arrive will seem like a distant dream! 😉👍
Ok but that pep talk is what makes the show perfect. The entire thing is about Dream realizing he's not fallible, cares for others, has friends who care for him and its ok to lean on them.
I loved this show, can’t wait for Season 2
That's if we even get a season 2. It's Netflix after all. They cancel so many good shows after one season!
I loved this series! Can’t wait until the next season
One very small bit. (VERY SMALL). I don't like that no one is afraid of Dream. Like they can push him around.
Exactly. He's way more intimidating in the books. Overall though, the show was great.
I absolutely love this
Thanks for the no spoilers🤝😊
