Poor reviews are disappointing but not exactly surprising.

Seems that the show is said to feel like they're embarrassed by the anime. By that you get long explanations for simple stuff. Like names, in the anime you're just supposed to accept things but in this they're apparently like "no this is why it is-" and so on and so forth.
Seems they didn't understand the assignment.

Just watched a small clip on Twitter. Clearly someone doesn't get a certain character. And the wide angle lenses... please scale back on those, pretty please?

Watched the first two episodes and I'm enjoying it so far.
Is it as good as the anime? Nope but that's a ridiculously high bar.
It's a different take for sure and is doing it's own thing with certain characters but I don't mind it. That's just how adaptions tend to be.
Now could it fall apart in the next few episodes for me? Sure but as of now, I'm in.

Whoever cast Jet Black deserves a raise him and Spikes friendship is the highlight of the show so far.

That legit feels like a Nostalgia Critic skit.

That legit feels like a Nostalgia Critic skit. Funny you mention that, Jacob Chapman dressed up as Ed for To Boldly Flee and he looked far more convincing as Ed.

That legit feels like a Nostalgia Critic skit. Anyway, I went in wanting to like this way more than I did (one of my close friends is involved in this, and well, most of the anime live action stuff), but it just fell flat and totally off-putting in a lot of areas. There were absolutely stretches I enjoyed but I'll spoiler some gripes as some pertain to twists/changes. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler} Making Julia an evil big bad who shoots Spike out the window. In an effort to flesh out Vicious and give him more screen time, they make him a sniveling emo goon with an inferiority complex who answers his phone sarcastically saying "moshi moshi". He felt very much like not a threat and any time he and Julia were on screen I was tempted to fast forward.
Sooo many Dutch Angles.
Pierrot le Fou was always my favorite so I am biased in saying I did not like their handling of him. Ed, as shown above, was a nightmare for me.
I think a thing the show did very well and maybe even improved upon, is that it gives you more time with the crew together. The problem is that while some of the banter is fun, a lot of it becomes very poorly mimicked Whedon/MCU quips and unnecessarily edgy humor. I think the performances of the core crew are actually fine but undermined by very bad writing.
"You don't know true power until you've tasted the testicles of the man who wronged you." is not a line I needed to hear. The dialogue/writing was pretty poor in places.
I might be underselling some of the parts I like but it felt at odds with itself tonally and the lows of it were just dreadful for me.

Granted, this might be because I never really cared much for the character compared to others, but that just comes across as a live action Ed to me.

Okay, I'm three episodes in, and I'm enjoying the hell out of this.
It's not the anime, which I didn't think it would be. But it's fun as hell.

I'm now 4 episodes in and I really like it. It was mentioned above but Jet and Spike are fantastic together. The back and forth banter between them is just great. Jet in general is just great. Fantasic casting in that department.

I think its the case of people letting the internet decide for themselves before watching the actual product. While that Ed looks bad I dont think it should negate the good
