The Sandman
Death taking the life of a drowning man: Kirby Howell-Baptiste has gotten a lot of praise (and very deservedly!) for her portrayal of Death in Netflix’sThe Sandman, an adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s seminal comic series. As Dream (Tom Sturridge) and Death go about Death’s tasks, there’s one moment where Death escorts a young man who has drowned during his honeymoon. She tells him, you have as much time as anyone else does: a lifetime. It was a perfect delivery, a wonderful line, and added a lot of brightness to an otherwise very tragic moment. Really, a stunning scene.
