I'm really looking forward to A Game of You.

News 'Sandman' TV Series a Go at Netflix
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
Season 1 covered the first two graphic novel collections - Preludes and Nocturnes (Issues 1-8) and The Doll's House (Issues 9-16) - of the series.
Except "Tales in the Sand" (issue 9), which will probably be incorporated into the Season of Mists arc next season. Plus two issues from Dream Country in the bonus episode: "Calliope" (17) and "A Dream of a Thousand Cats" (18).

I was going off information directly from Neal, so thanks for that clarification.

I fully expect each season (assuming we get more) will feature a mixture of two main arcs and short stories.
Depends on which story.
I would say yes, but if the show has two seasons I am going to guess that Netflix will at least include a deal to end the story either with a full or truncated third season. Four seasons would be exactly right to tell the whole story.
Why?
Anything that the show needs to do with John, it can do (and already has done) with Johanna, and Jenna Coleman is, arguably, a better actor than Matt Ryan (and a distinctly more high-profile one).
Yeah, 7 seasons is not going to happen--but not all the stand alone stories need to be told and World's End probably won't happen. The Kindly Ones will probably be reduced to a half season, when it should be a full season along with the epilogue--but I will be happy if the show is given enough notice that an ending can happen, even if we don't get all the tales along the way.
I don't know where you're getting 14 from. There are 10 collections from the original run. Three of those are strictly one-shots (either completely on their own or with some thematic connection like months or the World's End pub). Like theenglish said, four seasons would be the right length to cover the original run depending on how many of the shorts are adapted (and in what manner).
Everything after that, such as Overture, The High Cost of Living, The Time of Your Life, The Dream Hunters, The Endless Nights, and a few others, would be gravy but not essential. Even though I really, really want to see all five of those adapted.

Yup, that's what I've been hoping for. I could see Overture being about four episodes with Dream's The Endless Nights entry acting as a prologue. I could see the rest of the season filling out with The High Cost of Living, The Time of Your Life, The Dream Hunters, and the remaining The Endless Nights entries (although I don't think Despair's or Destiny's stories would translate with any real substance given the nature of their shorts).
At least, that's what I hope what happens. That's far down the road...
