Viktoria M @vikmartel 4d I would've given it a straight 5 based on first six episodes. I was perfection. The atmosphere the magical cinematography the story telling the casting. it was all amazing and I was totally transported into magical realms of this show. The Sandman actor was amazing too. I especially adored episodes one, the one with Hell, where Gwendoline Christie was amazing as Lucifer and also the one with his sister Death and Hobs meeting Dream every 100 years. it was so perfect and touching!! And than from episode 7 it became all about Rose Walker plot and her annoying little brother, two of the most uninteresting characters on the show even with vortex stuff... and it went down the drain or me. After being totally entranced for first 6 episodes, it was dark and gothic and mysterious, every other scene was work of art... and than I could barely slug through the last few of them. I wanted to see more of the Endless and their realms and mysteries of the world.

However, this mechanical logic is betrayed by abysmal narrative logic. ​Glaring plot holes destroy the immersion. A woman picking up a blatant psychopath at night is absurd. A mother’s ultimate sacrifice for a son she showed no connection to is a lazy cliché. Even the victory over Lucifer lacks genuine stakes. ​The world-building is further weakened by dated tropes. The script's repetitive use of "mankind" reflects an archaic perspective. Female characters are forced into shallow, sacrificial roles rather than acting as independent humans. Clinging to these patriarchal clichés makes the show age poorly. ​While the magic is believable, the writing lacks intellectual depth. The world is structurally weak.

Tom Sturridge quien interpreta a Sueño me hipnotizo con su actuación me llegue a creer que era un eterno. Respecto a la trama en un principio me confundí pero mientras mas avanzando el desarrollo termina gustando, hubiera esperado un final mas trágico pero me gusto el desenlace siento que volvieron a sueño mas humano.
