Sleep of the Just

Despite some cliche and predictable lines, Tom Sturridge does an excellent job portraying Dream of the Endless. The visuals are incredible, and Tom's narration keeps you hooked. I look forward to what the rest of the series has in store.

I expected a very good story and it gave me it I absolutely loved this I can't wait for the other 10 episodes hope everyone enjoys it this is my opinion so yea I loved the story the horror and dark elements.

From the first moment, I was hooked on the visuals. The themes of the episode kept me watching raptly. I have never read The Sandman, so this was entirely new to me, and there was certainly a lot happening in this episode. But I thought the acting -- particularly Sturridge's part -- was beautiful. This felt somewhat like an exploration of some of the darker parts of humanity -- some of the things humans are willing to do for power -- and I think it was a beautiful introduction to Dream.

I am not over exaggerating when I say this episode was probably the best 1 hour of Televesion I have watched this year. Firstly the CGI looks like a high budget movie and the story,the acting, the screenwriting, everything is so on point, just can't wait to binge the rest of the season.

Going to start off with a the prologue of the episode and that was a bit of a stretch in the visuals department, the rest of the episode was prefect but that was so odd. The green screens just didn't seem right. But honestly that was the only distraction from this episode. The rest was set perfectly well.

The comic panels that were pulled straight from the book itself were great, the moment that we see Dream brought into the waking world that was awesome, 100% accurate! I have to say that Tom Sturridge is awesome for the role. Voice and appearance spot on, movements just on point. Charles Dance as Burgess another prefect casting in the series. The same role as Tywin Lannister was made for him to play for the rest of his life, the begrudging father of a second son that dreams of his first. I am interested that the Corinthian has been introduced this early in the series but again the casting seems as though this has been nailed.

I cant fault the first episode of the series, its just taking a while to get round to this as I love the comics and this has definitely stood up to the wonder of those.
