Netflix viewers around the globe are taking in the first season of The Sandman and Kevin Smith is no different. The Sandman, an adaptation that was decades in the making, debuted on Netflix on Friday and viewers began their binges of all 10 episodes. Kevin Smith is no different, as the director stayed up for an entire night watching the series and sharing some of his reactions on social media. Smith began by praising the original Sandman comics and the Netflix series and offering congratulations to Neil Gaiman, who wrote the comics and produced the show, on a job well done.
Dear @neilhimself,I remember reading the first issue of Sandman after buying it off the rack in 1989. It was beautiful & breathtaking. Decades later, @Netflix_Sandman is taking me on a similar genuine journey. I’m so elated for you! Congratulations on your realized magnum opus! pic.twitter.com/iMLInbyRvM
The @Netflix_Sandman goes to Hell!Oh, @neilhimself…This is Metal as fuck! pic.twitter.com/ZnzQD7eDS0
Watching @Netflix_Sandman all night reminded me what a massive Morpheus fan I’ve been since the comic debuted – so much so that when I crafted QUIVER (my first Green Arrow arc with @philhester & @andeparks), we included a 60’s scene at the Burgess estate featuring a creepy cameo. pic.twitter.com/mqvUlooiZE
