"The Sandman" Season 2 is wrapping up Dream's story throughout the month of July. The Netflix adaptation of the Neil Gaiman comic book series drops its second and final season in a less conventional Netflix release date.

The Sandman Season 2 introduced a horde of great new characters, including Delirium (Esme Creed-Miles), the youngest of the Endless who was previously known as Delight. The second season of The Sandman constantly keeps this lingering mystery alive without giving much explanation as to why Delirium stopped being Delight.

Night falls on Netflix’s The Sandman as Season 2 comes to an end, and with it, at least for the foreseeable future, the live-action version of the Sandman himself. In the finale, “A Tale of Graceful Ends,” Dream ( Tom Sturridge) chooses to end his life when he decides to end his son’s endless suffering.

The Sandman season 2 delivers a conclusive, satisfying end to the story. It doesn’t leave behind a trail of loose ends, but it does leave a few things to the imagination. The big twist in the end is that Morpheus loses his life. After putting his son, Orpheus, out of his misery in the Volume 1 finale, he spilled family blood.

Hell has frozen over—figuratively, of course—as The Sandman Season 2 Episode 2 delivers a dramatic, unexpected twist that changes the trajectory of the season.

“A Tale of Graceful Ends,” the last episode of this season of The Sandman, ended on a very conclusive note. I was half torn between hoping Dream would still find a way to make it out alive and knowing deep down that passing on and leaving the Dreaming would be the only logical way out for his character.

The Sandman is not just a story I watched. It’s a story I entered in the early ’1990s, before I even opened the page.
