'The Sandman' review: Delirious delights in a desired dream come true

Forgive this rather obvious start, but Netflix's The Sandman is nothing short of a dream come true for fans of Neil Gaiman's beloved 1989-1996 fantasy comic-book series. It's obvious because, ironically, this Sandman robbed me of a weekend's worth of sleep.

Regrettably, I didn't get to savour much of Gaiman's saga in print form beyond the first dozen or so issues; when reviewing comics is a side gig, the day job takes priority.
