I want to say the gray man was the most expensive Netflix movie to date and that got green lit not even a week after it premiered.
Also, I don't think Netflix is the only one exclusively pouring money into its production.

After a quick Google search. Season 1 only covers the first 16 issues and there's like 75 in total.
So theoretically this could run for about 4 seasons if they move forward (hopefully keeping the same talent involved).
Neil gateman and others was also responsible for American Gods and season one was dope but then after that it just deteriorated in quality due to all the talent behind its success leaving.

Spent the day binging this. I haven't read all of Sandman, but I have read the issues that this season covered.
For the first six episodes, this show is damn near perfect as a comic adaptation. It's a great case study into how to adapt a comic book (relatively) faithfully to TV while still pacing it properly to fit a TV runtime. I compare it to the Audible version of the Sandman with its full cast, where chapters covering a single issue would take up to 40 minutes at times. The Audible version had added narration from Neil Gaiman which added to its runtime however.
My biggest moments geeking out to this show were just how well they adapted the comics. It is what I've always wanted in an adaptation, and I hope we reach a point where more adaptations can be as faithful as this. The Sandman comics were written before the era of decompression and 'writing for the trade' was so commonplace, but even today any single issue of a comic book could easily fit at least a 22-minute runtime, especially when you pad for establishing shots and fight scenes. I was straight
when they got to the Hob Gadling episode, which was my favorite issue of the ones I've read.
Some of the changes they made as far as gender-swapping Constantine or making Death black are definitely pissing off the Comicsgate "Go woke go broke" crowd, but they didn't bother me as much. The actress playing Constantine was amazing, and the actress playing Death was bad AF.
Honestly, the actress for Death in this show was better than in the Audible version, where she was played by Kat Dennings, who just played Kat Denning as Kat Dennings. Didn't even bother to do an accent or anything.
Episode 7 is where the show starts to fall off for me. I was glad they adapted the cereal convention because I thought that would get cut, and overall the writing is not the issue, though a couple of changes here and there through me off. The problem I have with the show at this point was the actors for Rose and Jed. They're young, especially Jed's, so I don't want to be too mean, but Rose's actress is straight
, and it hurts the show in the second half because she's the central character of that arc.
It's not even a case of her just being inexperienced--she flat out cannot emote. I also read that both Rose and Jed's actors are British, so not only are they having trouble emoting, but they have to struggle with the accents too. I can name at least half a dozen scenes with Rose where I was like
because her acting is far below the level of the other actors on, and it just yanks you out of the scene. I totally agree with the sentiment that this part of the season starts feeling really CW-ish, because she is just straight bush league. It honestly got to the point where I though she had to be a WB exec's kid because there is no other reason she had any business being on this show.
All that being said, I did have fun watching, and I'll watch a season two if it ever gets made. I'm gonna go ahead and finish the omnibus that I've been sitting on for a year first tho.

Bruh I was skipping her shyt like a DJ trying to find the perfect break.
She was one of those annoying emotional, fragile but bossy teenagers that are so popular as main characters these days. I don't know who made those popular bruh but they fukked up.
