Was this any good or did it suck big fat hairys?


I am thinking of buying this but have never seen it.

If you liked it or thought it was crap, please have your say either way and why?

I thought it was pretty good, had a comic book vibe to it that not many comic adaptations have.

the show had something for everyone, but I think that's what it's problem was in the eyes of many. I must say, that even though every episode was different, you could see how they were connected. be warned though, that they are not in the right order. For example the bf she has for most of the show is supposedly dumped early on then shows up again.

If you are open to it and try see what they were trying to do you may like it.

I watched all the episodes and overall, it mostly sucks. There were some pretty good episodes in the beginning, especially when it was Blade Runner-ish and such, but after that, it went quickly downhill from there. It wasn't serious and it wasn't campy, it was just bad.

I'm in the middle of the first episode and it seems entertaining enough, but I can already tell I wouldn't buy it. Unless you're a die-hard comic collector and just have to have it (in which case you'd probably have it already) then I say sign up for Netflix and watch the entire season online (and many other movies/shows) basically for free.

I never read this comic, so I have no frame of reference. Probably lucky for me.

it doesn't really follow the comic too much and the first episode is the worst one.

I have watched the first 4 episodes, I like the story, the characters are good.
I plan to buy the series, it should have gone for more than one season.

reply

Yes, it should have.
