Side note: for days I had the song "Mr. Sandman" stuck in my head.
The production value is really good. I liked the sound effects (it helped visualizing scenes that's originally a graphic novel) and I liked the intro song.
I loved James McAvoy's voice. He's an excellent narrator. Though I did not picture Morpheus as the image on the cover but as James McAvoy.
I didn't realize the beginning would have a slight MacGuffin Plot. Even so, it was entertaining.
Some things I liked:
- Michael Sheen as Lucifer. I pictured him as Aro in the Twilight Saga.
- Episode 10: "Men of Good Fortune".
- The Vortex / Rose Walker
I hated:
- "24 Hours" - way too sick and disturbing. I fast forwarded that story.
- "Collectors" - I didn't see the point of this one.
If Part 2 is ever available in the Included catalogue then I'll listen to that.
3.5 our of 5 Dreams.

So what did I think? Considering this isn’t really my genre and I don’t know the source material, I was still able to follow and appreciate most of this. I didn’t like all of the stories - I suppose I was expecting a more traditional narrative arc, there’s a beginning but no end as this is only Act 1 so don’t expect a conventional story structure. The first part, about Sleep’s capture and subsequent escape, was brilliant. I did NOT like the Dr Destiny chapter - too dark and nasty for me (rape, necrophilia, self-mutilation...) and found some of the random ones like Hob the immortal soldier or the African coming of age story a bit tedious and pointless. Rose Walker’s quest to find her brother and gate-crashing the serial killer convention lifted my interest back up, and I was rapt by the Cat story (of course) until the traumatic scene with the kittens 😿
