The web comic is clever enough, but this does not translate well into an extended animated show.

@mystech 'Extended' is the word. Why the hell are the episodes 24 minutes long? Crazy. 15, at a push, is plenty. I'm not that familiar with the comic, but that first episode was a disaster.

I wanted to like this so much - been waiting months for it. Love the comic. Unfortunately it only looks like the comic. It just doesn't feel like it at all, and I think that's just lame. I didn't expect some perfect adaptation, but this is basically any other animated show minus the humor, and everyone is too human. Making the female aliens have eye-shadow, the amount of clothes they wear, the way that they talk - the comic does it well and it could have been done in the show, but i dont think they got the right people to work on it - and then they say stupid things like "everything happens for a reason" in the show.... :rolling_eyes: yikes, what's with the wishy-washy crap....

The show misses the enjoyment of the comics. The comic was quick-witted and made you stop and think about it. The show however is long drawn-out awkward phrasing that you want to hurry up get get to the point.

First episode is 20 minutes about "comfort squares" (pillows) and avoiding using the word "airplane".

@handspiker2 seems like either it's suffering from bad writing, and people who can't adapt the style, or people who assume the audience are morons who won't understand or like it. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the second thing was true, considering the way the show is written

Hadn't read the webcomic, am enjoying the show so recommend it - with the caveat that it may not be what you were hoping for if you are already a fan (plus ca change, hey?)Anyway, I'm off to drink a mild poison and watch the latest episode :D

My biggest gripe with this show is the dialogue sounds nothing like what I think many people hear in their head as they're reading the comics. There's the basic, don't pair what you read with what you watch thing, but the comic is the sum of very few parts. You might reimagine Marvel in a dozen ways, but if you kick out one or two of the 3 pillars of what constitutes the comic identity, you just have its skin. The voices are human and dialogue...human. They don't have the Strange Planet or "being" identity. It's obviously not plot driven, so what exactly are we trying to do here? The joke is the ironic observation and alien turns of phrase. Where is that beyond some sprinkled here and there?

have to agree with most of the other reviews, the wit and wonder of the 4 panel comics just hasn't translated well to a half hour 'live' format - coming to it completely fresh might be best, as fans will only be let down

Too much unnecessary hate over here from comic "fans". You really don't know what an adaptation is, so keep your hate away and make an opinion based on the show... Anyways, so much love and fun with this show, I really enjoyed it!

I was really looking forward to this but as others have said...the spirit of the web comic did not come through in the show. Don't get me wrong, it was enjoyable but oddly generic, with such clever new scenarios as "Millennial afraid to ask someone out!" and "Child does things to exasperate parents" and the always new and exciting "I got a promtion and now everyone hates me".

Overall, cute but lacking what made the web comic so good.

Wow. Please excuse me while I sidestep the controversy here, I had no idea it was an adaptation, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm coming to this new, not knowing the webcomic, and I love it!

Love the 'tiny snacks' and 'mild poison' lol.

Of course almost no transition pleases dedicated fans, the standout that breaks the rule is The Shawshank Redemption. Though I think Stephen King's original was more of a short story at 70pages from memory!

Ooops my ADHD brain gone sideways there.

Maybe I need to seek out the webcomic!
