This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. About the best that can be said about this show is that the characters mostly look like who they are. However, there if there were a word that I could use to characterize how this show changes the source material to forge its own identity, that word would be "Unnecessary". Or perhaps it would be "Why"...

Why did Molly's parents need to be killed in backstory?
Why is the actor family now a weird expy for Scientology instead?
Why did a character who was absolutely ruthless in the comics get chosen as the "conscience" for the villains?
Why was a completely original character introduced, just to be fridged at the start of the show as justification for things no one needed justified?
Why, did the creators decide to remove any and all elements of magic from the story and replace them with sci-fi technobabble?

All in all, this adaptation doesn't add anything to the story that's worth the price of a Hulu subscription, and what it takes away creates something less than what was there before.… Expand

However the show really falls apart in plot and motivation. Towards the end of the first season several characters start making some wild and polarised decisions just because we need to move the plot in a particular direction (e.g. Who gets in the pod to save Victor Stein and why's it so critical - in the end "no one" and "it's not").… Expand
