The latest series to hit Netflix like a sandstorm (pun intended) is The Sandman. Featuring a spectacular story by Neil Gaiman and a multitude of characters to simp on, the series has been hailed as one of the finest to hit Netflix for several months. One of the characters shown is the gender-bent character of Johanna Constantine. And the fans loved her so much, that they are already demanding a spin-off of the character as Hellblazer.
