Nathan W. Pyle and Dan Harmon’s show tackles the joys, tragedies and absurdities of everyday existence through gently comic tales set on a planet of blue humanoid beings.
Word on the street (well, the IMDB reviews which I admit hardly passes for the street) is they screwed up by not having these dudes on Earth like in the comic, experiencing things that are mundane to us but strange to them and giving their uniquely literal blue perspective on it all.
Wait, so what have they done? I love the comics but I’ve not watched anything of the TV show yet. But the whole appeal of the comics is examining mundane, everyday human things from an alien perspective; I don’t understand how they could try to adapt the comics and not do that.
This was the most ad infested piece of garbage website I’ve seen in a while.
hollywoodreporter.com not for you, eh?
I enjoy the short four-panel comics, but I couldn’t even make it halfway through the first episode of the show. Chaining so many small moments of absurdity together ruins the effect of all of them. The result is a pretty boring show about nothing where the characters just kinda talk funny.
