No, not our very own Sandman, Dick Miles, but Neil Gaiman's dark comic character!

Review in the Guardian

Starts today and I am looking forward to it. I have enjoyed all Gaiman
TV adaptations so far.

The villain Morpheus redeems himself. Of course it took women to bring him around, the devil excluded.

I was 2 episodes into series 3 of The Umbrella Acadamy so I have decided to finish that before watching The Sandman. Now halfway through the UA so Sandman will be next week sometime. Hopefully the new series of Good Omens will be out soon too.

New series of Good Omens? Yay!

Coincidentally, my Hubby just mentioned that series about half an hour ago. Freaky!

Yes indeed - Good Omens season two by the end of 2022 – or at least by early 2023.

Right, Umbrella Acadamy series 3 done and very good it was too. Although a bit confusing as I could not remember a lot of the plot from series 1 and 2 :-( Excellent sound track too if anyone is interested.

Sandman here I come :-D

I laughed out loud at 'Upload'.

I'm not a fan of religious dramas but I am a Ron Perlman fan so I gave 'Hand of God' a try on Netflix.
Its a mixture of the Wire and a scientific take on parietal epilepsy. The plot twists are shocking and the acting incomparable.

Ron Perlman is great. I watched "In the name of the King" the other day and Perlman's acting was the high spot!

I must have missed something, Don. Who or what is upload?

Sorry Hand of God (drama) and Upload (comedy) are both on Amazon prime

Up load is a digital 'heaven' or resort you can elect/buy upon your death. Who chooses is the first glitch. This afterlife is full of glitches and came out before Facebook became Meta. hmmm
Getting downloaded back into real life is currently beyond their technical know how.

I'm glad I double checked Upload, season two is out.
The conclusion of Hand of God was perfect

There is a bonus episode out. Saw it yesterday and it is very good. Short animated section about a cat and a longer live one about a writer and his muse. Some big names in too!
