The series leans left due to its pervasive and normalized diverse representation across gender, race, and sexuality, and its central narrative arc where the protagonist learns empathy and adapts his rigid worldview to a more inclusive understanding of order.
The series demonstrates significant diversity, equity, and inclusion through its explicit recasting of multiple traditionally white or male characters with minority and gender-swapped actors. While the casting is intentionally diverse, the narrative itself does not explicitly critique or negatively frame traditional identities.
The Sandman presents a rich tapestry of LGBTQ+ characters, including a non-binary Endless (Desire), a bisexual protagonist (Johanna Constantine), and a dignified drag queen (Hal). These characters are depicted with complexity, agency, and respect, with their identities normalized and celebrated within the narrative, contributing to a strong positive net impact.
The Sandman features several characters, including Lucifer Morningstar and Lucienne, who were established as male in the original comic series but are portrayed as female in the show. The contemporary Constantine role, originally male, is also portrayed by a female character.
The show features multiple characters, including Death, Lucien, Rose Walker, Jed Walker, Cain, and Abel, who were depicted as white in the original comic book series but are portrayed by actors of different races in the adaptation.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
