The link hasn’t totally been severed. Constantine is still present.

My only two gripes are a bad 2.0 sound mix - too much dynamic range, even with compression turned on - and Lucifer was lackluster. Too much “corporate CEO” and not enough fallen angel. Should have pulled in the TV show actor.

But Death, Desire, Matthew, Lucien, even Morpheus himself all rock.

The Constantine of the series isn't the Constantine of the book; the Constantine of the book is the protagonist of Hellblazer, and he isn't hundreds of years old. The Constantine of the series has a thru-line going back to Hob Gadling; she's entirely contained in the Sandman story.

The two Constantines are two different people, even though they’re played by the same actress. Morpheus explicitly calls out working with her ancestor, who is the one we saw in Hobbs story.

More importantly she doesn’t recognize Morpheus despite working with him.
