I\u2019m pretty excited about it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, I didn\u2019t know much about Sandman before I got involved, and so it was only when I was announced as being part of it on Twitter that I kind of realised quite how deep and broad the fanbase is.\u201d<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;The\" sandman=\"\" first=\"\" look=\"\" netflix=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VBXqrBl6pEo?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>Although he might not have had much prior knowledge of The Sandman itself, Bhaskar does have previous experience of working with Gaiman \u2013 having appeared briefly in the first season of <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/good-omens-season-2\/&quot;\">Good Omens<\/a> \u2013 and said he\u2019s a big fan of his work in general.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve kind of known him on and off about 10 years,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd I just love this stuff. There\u2019s a quirkiness to it which I think makes it quite uniquely British, in that you\u2019ve got these fantastical stories that go into these other realms, but there\u2019s a kind of thread of humour through all of them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe takes some of those great traditions of suspense, mystery, and even Tolkien and people like that, but also combines it with a kind of Python-esque sensibility, like Douglas Adams in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;editor-content\" mb-lg=\"\" hidden-print=\"\" js-piano-locked-content=\"\">\n<p><strong>The Sandman will stream on Netflix \u2013\u00a0<span class=\"&quot;s1&quot;\">check out our lists of the\u00a0<a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/what-to-watch-tv\/best-tv-shows-netflix\/&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;s2&quot;\">best series on Netflix<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/what-to-watch\/netflix-best-movies\/&quot;\"><span class=\"&quot;s2&quot;\">best movies on Netflix<\/span><\/a>, or see what else is on with\u00a0<\/span>our\u00a0<a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener\" noreferrer=\"\">TV Guide<\/a>.
