Not sure this thing quite moves away from its Goyer-esque foundations but the biggest problem is the lead; The Sandman character is a bit too weak in comparison to the rest who are far much more interesting. Give me a Johanna Constantine series instead please - such a great performance by Jenna Coleman. Did warm to its lead by the tremendous episode 6 even if fumbles its bag a bit after that. Boyd Holbrook excellent as ever too; as is David Thewlis.
