How this guide is filed
Dream of the Endless, finally, with comic-accurate weird instead of a superhero rinse. Tom Sturridge's quiet gravity and a mythology protective fandom had been guarding for decades. Watch for anthology-shaped seasons that still feel like one realm, and for fantasy television that prefers stories, bargains, and bad dreams to lore dumps.
