Dude, it was shit. It was shit because it was another IP that some writers got ahold of who had contempt or at least no understanding of the source material.
I love the actors they chose for Spike, Jet, and Fey. But the writing and direction was awful.
This series reminded me of The Witcher, in the worst ways, and I’m a huge fanboy of both IPs
As a huge fan of the original, I legitimately really enjoyed the live action show. Just watch it as it’s own self contained thing and don’t think too much about where it comes from. And don’t take it too seriously. I’m sad that we’ll never see more.
I watched all but the last episode before I just couldn’t do it anymore. The show had its moments, but it just never quite came together. The acting for the main crew was pretty decent, Jet was phenomenally done. The changes they made for Vicious and Julia are pretty sacrilegious and hard to watch.
I actually enjoyed it. IMO they didn’t fuck up any of the characters or plot points, and the aesthetic was interesting. Nothing will beat the original, but it was still fun to watch.
so – did anyone watch the live action rendition? Was it worth the time in retrospect?

The actor who played Jet carried the show. He was extremely good.
I didn’t and wont, and I’m a straight up fanboy.
Remakes / franchises are the plague of modern creative media.

The actor for Vicious really ruined it for me. He was comical, not threatening.
It felt like a SNL sketch.
Good talent and acting, with an established backstory, ad-libbed to the point of absurdity, on a temporary set made out of foam board.

Where is this live action rendition you speak of?
