Sandman Season 2 on Netflix: Ending Worth Watching, Despite Neil Gaiman Influence

The Sandman’s final episodes on Netflix are definitely worth a watch, despite the lingering shadow of Neil Gaiman over the series. Throughout the show, we’ve seen our mysterious Dream King go by many names, but in this final season, he’s known as Lord Shaper. The series has received less attention this time around due to Gaiman’s legal issues, but there’s much more to the show than just one person’s involvement.

If you’re curious about diving into the Dreaming for the first time or catching up on the latest events, rest assured that this season’s storyline is relatively independent of the first. The Dream King, played by Tom Sturridge, is back on his throne and dealing with family drama among his Endless siblings. The addition of new characters like Destiny, Delirium, and eventually Destruction adds complexity to the already intricate narrative.

As the season progresses, Dream embarks on a journey of personal growth, making difficult decisions that ultimately lead to a showdown with powerful beings known as the Kindly Ones. The final episodes showcase a less elaborate but emotionally resonant conclusion to the series, as Dream’s legacy is passed on to his half-mortal son, Daniel Hall.

Despite its complexities, the journey of “The Sandman” is ultimately a rewarding one. The show’s inventive storytelling and examination of timeless themes make it a standout on Netflix. So if you’re a fan of high fantasy epics with rich character development, don’t let the controversy surrounding Gaiman deter you from experiencing the captivating world of “The Sandman” for yourself.
