The Sandman (2022-)

Dream, the being who controls the world of dreams, escapes after being kidnapped for almost a century and brings order to his world.

'Sandman' is a fantasy series based on a series of well-loved comics by Neil Gaiman. It exceeds all expectations regarding the staging of such a well-developed and imaginative world and characters, with an incredible dream/nightmare atmosphere. The team of actors is unexpectedly well chosen in terms of appearance but also voice, gestures and everything that means the personification of beings that exist only two-dimensionally. The main story itself isn't all that special, but it's just an excuse to bring to life an amazing fantasy world. In addition, the 2 filler episodes (as all series have) from somewhere in the middle, raise the overall quality by a lot.
