"The Sandman" recently premiered on Netflix — and it has totally taken the streamer by storm. That said, all the commentary hasn't necessarily been glowing. In fact, some fans have questions, particularly about the distorted aspect ratio used in the series.
Will Baldy, Sam Heasman, and George Steel serve as the show's cinematographers, and they have brought a surrealist and heavily dream-like feel to much of the new series. In it, they morph what the audience sees on screen into stretched faces and elongated images, almost giving the show the overall feeling of Salvador Dali's famous melting clocks painting "The Persistence of Memory."

With Neil Gaiman’s highly-anticipated “The Sandman” arriving on Netflix this week, some viewers have been swift to comment on the show’s aspect ratio looking slightly off.
“Why does everything looked so stretched upwards? Is it supposed to be dreamy and I’m just an uncultured swine or is there something wrong,” one user asked.
“Sandman” viewers first noticed the skewed images in trailers for the series, sparking some trepidation among fans of the original comic book series. The distorted images were not isolated to the trailer, remaining a mainstay in the series itself.
Some questioned whether a technical issue was the causing the distinctive visuals. However, a spokesperson for Netflix confirmed that image distortion is a deliberate creative choice on “The Sandman.”
