The second season of the much-awaited The Sandman has been released, with its first batch of episodes building on the machinations of the powerful mythological figure Dream. With the second instalment now streaming on the OTT giant, viewers and critics have already started sharing their reviews for the first six episodes. On the other hand, the show began with a perfect 100 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, with the score now likely to fluctuate as days pass.
Amid the controversy surrounding Neil Gaiman, who continues to face sexual assault allegations, the second and final season has received mostly positive responses from the audience, with many also sharing excitement for the upcoming episodes.
With all praise for The Sandman's second season, a fan wrote, 'Season 2 of the sandman, has been so damn good like it's had my feelings everywhere!"

Another comment read, 'Started Sandman season 2, somehow it's more visually stunning than the last weeeeeeeee."
Offering a detailed review, an X user continued, 'In Season 2, Death returns with that same calm, healing energy. Her appearances are brief but deeply emotional, especially in moments involving Dream's losses. She reminds us why she's one of the most beloved Endless. #TheSandman SANDMAN 2 NOW PLAYING ON NETFLIX."
A fan went on to describe The Sandman 2 as 'one of the most beautiful, prolific, and engaging cinematic pieces out there."
One claimed, 'As someone who has read the #TheSandman comics, I feel like The #Sandman Season 2 Part 1 has so far been a beautiful adaptation that captures the soul of the source material. It's melancholic & serene, that reunion between Dream & [redacted] made me cry. I am the #ComicsLord!"

On the other hand, not all the reviews were positive, as fans stated that the first season was better. One wrote, 'As someone who was a Sandman fan in the 90s but who also was creeped out by NG's online persona long before the truth came out, I watched a chunk of season 2 of Sandman on Netflix. Lighting was so bad I lasted half an episode. It almost felt like sabotage for it to be that bad."
With the early set of reviews out now, viewers are eagerly waiting for The Sandman's Season 2 Volume 2, scheduled to release on July 24.
