Gaiman’s work is strong. Since I didn’t look into the original comics, I can’t comment on how well they were translated. However, judging by what’s being produced now, the narrative itself holds up very well. It isn't without its flaws, but generally it flows nicely. The connections to *American Gods* are clear when looking at *The Sandman*. The performers were appropriately chosen, and their performances felt natural. The visuals are striking, and credit should go to the comic book artist for that. Many contemporary writers seem to fall into predictable patterns; they escalate conflicts in a straightforward way, like how a character would respond with overwhelming force after being threatened. Gaiman takes a different approach. He goes somewhere unexpected, almost as if he’s exhausted all other possibilities. Consider the fight scene in Episode 4—I've never encountered anything quite like it. It certainly wasn't poorly executed; it just stands apart from what we typically see these days.
