“The Sandman” and “Purple Hearts” led the Netflix Top 10 for the week of Aug. 1–Aug. 7 in the English shows and movies categories, respectively.

SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Lost Hearts” the Season 1 finale episode of “The Sandman.”Netflix’s 10-episode first season of “The Sandman” opened up a world of dreams and nightmares Friday for both viewers familiar with Neil Gaiman’s iconic DC comic book series and those who had never before entered The Dreaming.Following the journey of Morpheus, The Lord of Dreams (played by Tom Sturridge), as written in the first two installments of Gaiman’s “Sandman” comics, Season 1 of “The Sandman” TV show covered a lot of ground originally laid by Gaiman in the late ’80s and early ’90s. But there are still eight more volumes in the main “Sandman” comics series left to be adapted.

 may have only premiered on Netflix last Friday, but fans are already looking to the future. It's no surprise considering that the 10-episode series is a long-awaited adaptation of Neil Gaiman's beloved comic book series that's finally arrived on the small screen after several failed attempts! And after an explosive season finale that leaves more problems than solutions, the biggest question that remains is, will there be a season 2? Nothing's been announced, and Gaiman played coy when ET posed the question to him and  co-creator Allan Heinberg.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorWith Neil Gaiman’s highly-anticipated “The Sandman” arriving on Netflix this week, some viewers have been swift to comment on the show’s aspect ratio looking slightly off.“Why does everything looked so stretched upwards? Is it supposed to be dreamy and I’m just an uncultured swine or is there something wrong,” one user asked.“Sandman” viewers first noticed the skewed images in trailers for the series, sparking some trepidation among fans of the original comic book series. The distorted images were not isolated to the trailer, remaining a mainstay in the series itself.Some questioned whether a technical issue was the causing the distinctive visuals.

Kirby Howell-Baptise was more than ready to step up to the plate. «I don't think it's helpful when taking on something like this to be thinking about what comes after, whether that be people's opinions or accolades or whatever. I think that in acting and in life, the way to be happy and satisfied is to be as present as possible,» the London-born actress tells ET. «So for me, being presented with the opportunity to play a role that I loved from the first time I read superseded any fears or doubts I may have had about the reaction after.»It's a wise approach that isn't unlike the confident attitude exhibited by Death, the big sister of 's nominal character.

Finally, right? It took forever for Neil Gaiman’s beloved and bestselling comic book “The Sandman” to get adapted. For years, it looked like there would be a feature film based on the DC Comics smash hit.

Gwendoline Christie is no stranger to iconic book franchises and their TV adaptations, so it's no surprise that she's taking the pressure of starring in the long-awaited adaptation of Neil Gaiman's beloved comic series with ease. «I think it's always interesting when you're dealing with material that people really love and they have an invested relationship, but that's also what makes it enticing,» Christie told ET when asked about joining another beloved series with a large fandom. «There's already an audience there that really wants to see that story brought to life.

Netflix, “The Sandman” is based on the cult hit DC comics by Neil Gaiman, first published from 1989-1996. This is the story’s first time onscreen, although Hollywood has been trying to make it for decades, so it’s a long time coming.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticAs a newcomer to Neil Gaiman’s seminal comic book series “The Sandman” (cue diehard fans immediately clicking out of this review, and fair enough!), I came to Netflix’s adaptation with an open mind and curious eye. Knowing this 1989 title had spawned onscreen spinoffs of “Sandman” characters — “Lucifer,” “Constantine,” etcetera — but never one of its own, it was hard not to wonder what about it might have made a live-action version so hard that it never happened until now.
