I still find it interesting to compare the original to the Netflix series, but mind the content warnings. Overall, I would say that the Netflix series is the improved version of this story, as more thought was put into it and the story got more room to breathe.

I forgot how scary this series is! Can’t believe I read it as a teen. Had to skip over the serial killer convention. So many CW please take care of yourself. 

That said I think the interwoven text of the sandman series is really strong in this one.
