Brief glimmers of something original and inventive start to get overshadowed by the morose tone and sluggish pace of the second half of the season.

Full Review | Jul 24, 2025

Merely a bunch of mopey goth types in an over-elaborate computer-generated fantasy landscape striking attitudes, declaiming cod pieties and being generally inert and miserable.

The second season’s opening episodes drag like an inescapable, non-refreshing REM state.

Season 2 of The Sandman isn’t quite as narratively ambitious as the first season, but it boasts great performances, emotional storylines, and epic production values that allow the show to maintain its status as must-watch fantasy television.

...The Sandman season two is every bit as beguiling, bold and brilliant as the first, managing to somehow elevate the source material.

Like its predecessor, Season 2 is ponderously paced, full of portentous waffle and mostly takes itself desperately seriously.
