‘The Sandman’s Denizens of The Dreaming Should Unionize

August 14, 2022

The Sandman. (L to R) Tom Sturridge as Dream, Stephen Fry as Gilbert in episode 110 of The Sandman.

Netflix’s series version of Neil Gaiman’s ‘The Sandman’ is a stunning achievement in comics adaptations. From the writing to the visual effects to the terrific casting, the series is a feast for the senses, and may go down as one of the best comic book to television series of all time. But as I binged the series, I was struck by two undeniable truths. The first is that Morpheus/The Dream sucks as a boss. And the second is that his creations and the citizens of The Dreaming desperately need a union.

Allow me to explain. I realize that Morpheus is the lord/king/ruler of The Dreaming, as the rest of his siblings rule their respective realms of the Endless. But when Lucifer (Gwendoline Christie) herself has more loyalty and employee satisfaction, you’ve got to know you’re a crap boss. Talk about Girlboss, Gaslight, Gate(s of Hell)keep.
