סנדמן // The Sandman
Neil Gaiman’s legendary comic series (“American Gods”), which deals with the stories of a dysfunctional family of immortal beings (each of which represents some human concept – dream, death, desire, etc.) has been in development for television (and episodes, for cinema) since the 1990s. The 90th. It’s a difficult series to process: it’s surreal, complicated and doesn’t have exactly one central plot. But now Neil Gaiman himself is at the head of the production, together with David Goyer – who was a screenwriter in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” trilogy, so there is something to look forward to – even if naturally, in light of the last time Netflix adapted a DC comic from that period, it released “Lucifer “The puzzled, you can also be a little suspicious. 5.8

The keys of the Locke family // Locke & Key
A third season for another Netflix comic adaptation, this time for a fantasy series about three young brothers who discover in their new home a series of magical keys that open, among other things, several doors that would really have been better left closed. If by any chance you started watching the first season and got discouraged or skipped it because of the mediocre reviews, you should know that the second season was received much more warmly and you can hope that the trend of improvement will only continue – because this will also be the last season. 10.8
13: The Musical
What are the first three things that come to mind when you think of New York? That’s right, Jews, Broadway and pizza. In “13: The Musical”, as far as we know, there is no pizzazz, but it makes up for it in the fact that it is a musical (which started as a successful Broadway production) about a Jewish boy from New York who moves to Indiana, a distinctly non-Jewish place, just before he is supposed to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah. Oh no. 12.8
The Cuphead show
The popular game Cuphead is all a tribute to old animated films, from the 20s and 30s of the last century (early days of Mickey Mouse, etc.). The game is based on the contrast between its colorful and cute characters and its psychological difficulty level. In the inevitable television adaptation, there is obviously no level of difficulty, and we are only left with everything that is cute, fun and disturbed about it – and “The Cuphead Show” is accordingly a kind of nostalgic trip to a completely different era of cartoons. The second season should give us, by and large, more of the same, and even if it doesn’t become the modern “Looney Tunes” in terms of the cult – it can still provide visual candy of the kind that is hardly made anymore. 19.8
Maybe getting lost
An animated mini-series for children about the journey of a lost toy trying to find his best friend may not sound like the most creative thing in the world, but here the director is none other than Peter Ramsey, who made the excellent (and even won an Oscar for) Spider-Man: Spider-Man ), so you can at least expect something very visually creative. 24.8
Maybe he’s in another dimension? “Maybe getting lost”
Mission Impossible 1-6
The series of epic action-spy movies starring Tom Cruise has been running for almost 20 years, and unlike most franchises of this type – instead of deteriorating, it somehow only gets better, with movies 4-6, in particular, being considered the best in the series (and even some of the action movies the best of recent years). For sure, for those who miss classic, exaggerated action, without superheroes or extended cinematic universes – this is the series for them. Also, on the same day, Netflix will upload another classic with Tom Cruise, “Love in the Sky”, whose surprising sequel – and not bad at all! – Hers came out two months ago, with a slight delay of more than 35 years. 1.8
