From the beginning, The Sandman has been a TV series about gods and legends who essentially live forever – or at least for as long as we mere mortals tell their stories. Because of this, ending a show about “the Endless” is no easy task.

The first volume of The Sandman Season 2 presented largely faithful adaptations of the Season of Mist and Brief Lives storylines. What few changes were made cut material from the comics rather than adding on to their stories.

The Sandman season 2 delivers a conclusive, satisfying end to the story. It doesn’t leave behind a trail of loose ends, but it does leave a few things to the imagination. The big twist in the end is that Morpheus loses his life. After putting his son, Orpheus, out of his misery in the Volume 1 finale, he spilled family blood.
