I really enjoyed this. The anime fans were going to bitch no matter what but as its own thing I thought it was well done. It definitely has some rough spots but that's just a side effect of being adapted from an anime so that was always gonna be the case but it definitely handles it better than other live-action adaptations. Overall I'm excited for season 2.
As for Ed I can't really judge them yet cause we only see them for a minute and Ed was always gonna be difficult to translate to live-action like Vicious. But unlike Vicious you can't get away with drastically changing Ed's character because they were a major part of the original show so it was always gonna be a lose-lose situation. Still, as long as they fix the way the character looks in season 2 I think it could be fine.
