Okay, I literally just started reading ‘The Sandman’ so in no way am I an expert or even know all that happens. I am, however, a huge fan of film and TV, and when I heard they were coming out with a show for the comic/graphic novel, I wanted to make sure I read the source material before I saw the final product. 
Of course Netflix has a bad habit of being inconsistent with what they put out. At first I was 100% excited for it and had no doubt that it would be great, but that was only based on imagery and (if I’m being honest, mostly) casting. I’m a big fan of Boyd Holbrook (especially in Narcos) and I have a lot of respect for Jenna Coleman’s acting. There a lot of other great actors cast in the show as well. They also decided to gender swap several characters, and although I tend to be iffy on that sort of thing in other adaptations as I’m worried it’s more for pandering (for example if you swap the gender of a long established character, and it overall changes the characteristics and persona of the character, in a manner that makes it feel like a whole different character, then I personally don’t think it works and it would have been better to create a new character to fit that roll) I do believe, even with limited exposure to the series, that it will work and I will enjoy it. 
As the release date gets closer however, I’m having more and more worry as very little has been released in the way of trailers, as well as the adaptation of the comic to screen has gone through a rough one. I know Neil Gaiman has developed it for the screen and I do respect his screen writing abilities, as well as the fact that he has developed a lot of his own work for the screen rather than just having an authors “based on the book” credit. 

Overall, just worried that with Netflix’s latest track record, it will fall flat, although I can’t think of another production company that could feasibly adapt it for television in a good manner. I imagine it’s a very hard work to adapt.
