The sandman: The Lord of Dreams and Nightmares
I was scrolling around Netflix to find some good series to watch this afternoon because I felt like I needed to watch. A whole sense of excitement and boredom are fighting inside me as I was picking up a new series. I wanted to watch something new, a series which hypes me, and would give me a wow factor. It has been days since I haven't watched a new series because I finished the Teen Wolf series.
There are few movies and series released this week, and I picked the mysterious series called The Sandman. I haven't watched the trailer so I watched it to have an idea what it was about. Surprisingly, I was amazed at how much the story plots and sequences gave me a confused face. It was a new concept, and this was what I liked. A concept that is beyond my imagination, and I salute to creators and writers of this show.
The storyline
“A wizard attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead. Fearful for his safety, the wizard kept him imprisoned in a glass bottle for decades. After his escape, Dream, also known as Morpheus, goes on a quest for his lost objects of power.” - from IMDB.
The first time I read the summary of The Sandman, I was instantly hooked by it. Who wouldn’t like a quest like a series? It was my favorite genre, the same as manga and novels. It gives me hype when I know the story has a good character development and it continuously builds the story from it. When a story has a leveling up system or adventure, it doesn't bore me.

Review (First episode)
Unfortunately, I have finished watching only the first episode today since I wrote an entry for the InkWell community. Speaking of entry, I published my entry for the Weekend Experiences community earlier. Check it out if you want to read another story from mine. I hope it doesn't bore you because I made it with every skill I have. A creative, short fiction story with the touch of the original question I picked from the challenge.
In terms of the first episode of The Sandman, it was amazing like it depicts the power of unknown realms with a touch of realistic period of life. The wholesome story of introducing the character, together with its upcoming problem. I was carried away by its characters, but that was a good sign that I was loving it. I grinned like a feral wolf because of my annoyance towards the man who captured him.
What do I expect from the following episodes?
Oh well, I had a big expectation of this series because I read a lot of good reviews. I think it deserves the praise and good feedback it received. Many things are offered by this show and I believe you guys would love to watch this as well. The actors are so great, especially the main character. His facial expressions and emotions are depicted with high acting skills. You can feel the lines and it feels so alive.
This series is addictive for me. It depends on you how you relate to the series especially to the characters and the story lines. The amazing effects struck me too. Like the special effects and how it was crafted are truly a masterpiece. If you watch the clip posted by Netflix on Facebook, you will see the amazing video. The transition and powerful scene is so good in my eyes.
Atlast, I just wanted to say to everyone that be careful going out since the weather is raining so hard. It has been days that rain pouring in our place, and I guess it's the same thing happened in your area as well. It's cold, so better drink a hot coffee, tea or milk once a day. I had fun writing this because of I was so hyped watching The Sandman. Watch it too!
