Despite the acclaim of season one, season two of The Sandman has not met the same critical approval, with one critic stating it 'misses every opportunity it creates for itself.'

Three years after the events of "WandaVision," Agatha (Hahn) remains trapped under Wanda's spell in Westview, New Jersey, where she unknowingly acts as a lead protagonist in another genre series. Similar to "WandaVision"'s format, the premiere takes on the style of a humorous and stylish premium-channel true crime parody, as if Harkness is auditioning for the next season of "True Detective." But that's not until her psyche is infiltrated by a gothic, curly-haired teen referred to only as Teen (Joe Locke), who brings her back into the real world.

The slow reintroduction of characters in the second season allows the show to delve deeper into the lives of Middle-earth's inhabitants, providing rich narrative ground.
