The first 3 episodes of this new animated series have just dropped on Amazon Prime, but I've only watched the first episode so far. The first surprise, the episodes are 44 minutes long, which I think is a first for an animated series. I really hope this succeeds because we need more comics getting animated adaptations that target adults. I want to see comics get adaptations the same way Japanese manga do, and I don't understand why that has never been a thing outside of children's entertainment.
I liked the first episode. It was decently paced (though I hear it's fast compared to the comic). It's a drama/action series, and it is so nice to see an adult animated series that doesn't completely rely on ultra-violence or mature language.
Now, as for the end of the episode, I did spoil myself on the twist because people were teasing so much I just had to rip the band-aid off early because the anticipation was getting too much for me. But holy crap, was that gruesome. I'm not sure how violent the show will be moving forward, but I don't mind as long as it doesn't become the only thing the show is about, especially since the first episode showed off its mature storytelling capacity.
Overall I really like the first episode, and I look forward to checking out the other episodes (on a day that's already pretty crowded with shows to watch).
