Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I probably would have enjoyed it more in the theater, but at home I could barely pay attention. Literally, when I read your post, I thought "Oh yeah, I meant to watch that.... oh wait, I did watch that."

Ha! I keep forgetting whether I meant to watch it or not. Either way it's behind a lot of things I definitely do intend to watch and haven't yet...
Like Only Murders in the Building and Loot, which have the advantage that I was, at a fairly recent point in time, caught up on them and could be again...

One episode into Sandman
Pleased so far

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
OMG I can finally talk about Sandman!! (We've been watching the press screeners all week and finished last night but it was embargoed until today, so!)
Anyway, I really loved it EXCEPT for the actor who plays Dream, who is way too much of a human person for what that character needs. (I imagine it was a nearly impossible role to cast, given that actors are, in fact, human persons, but the ratio of Dream Of The Endless, Infinitely Old And Powerful Monarch and Dream Of The Endless, Stubborn Emo Brat was not quite correct for me here.)
Fortunately, they more than made up for it with Death. And Lucifer.

I have been pleasantly surprised by how well they are doing little things that I expected to just fall by the wayside like stars in eyes. Also, I am needing substantial pauses between episodes to absorb and adjust.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Prey was much better than I expected it to be.
Also had some excellent photography of some gorgeous locations.

I'm only two episodes into Sandman, but so far Cain is the only false note to me. Not a fan of the casting there, while loving who they got for just about every other role.

I loved Sandman. I was a huge fan of the comics, and I'm happy with just about all the choices they made in transitioning to tv.

Me too. There were more than a few actually perfect moments and none that really made me say “I wish they’d done that differently“ which really beats the odds.
Edited to add the disclaimer that I purposefully did not reread so I wouldn’t be too focused on seeing it as an adaptation, I will have to reread and rewatch at some point but I think that will probably be enjoyable as well.
