Dunno about that, the ep where Faye joins the crew (around ep 4 from memory) she spends the whole episode with her tits hanging out of a formal dress, that was pretty good imo.

I watched three episodes.
Cho is trying to do Spike but he doesn't have the panache or suave fluid motion he does. Jet Black having this whole daughter sub plot absentee father thing is totally gay. Faye is just awful generally. Viscous pulling the trigger on Julia seems wildly out of character for him. The show took the average episode from 26 minutes to 40 and everything they filled in is generally awful.
They completely missed the tone and message of the show.
That being said there are a couple things I liked. I actually like the shows looks visually.
Ein is adorable at least.
This is a solid review I think.

Netflix’s ‘Cowboy Bebop’ Is a Flaming Pile of Space Trash
The live-action remake of the beloved anime series, starring John Cho, doesn’t seem to understand what made the original so great.

Okay-- mission accomplished.
Picard away...
I have to admit, the show shits the bed after episode 5.
I went into this like a fanboy; I thought that this was a sort of love letter to the anime masterpiece. And the anime IS a masterpiece; defining and refining the genre. So, I enjoyed the first few episodes as they (I thought) were trying to rekindle and, possibly, expand on the characters and world that Wantanabe built.
So it was, for me, like a star wars radio play. Or, like a Star trek comic book or like a Buckaroo banzai fan novel. Sure, those things can never recapture the thing-in-itself, but they keep the world alive (even if the attempts are sometimes sad and pathetic). A better example is what I stated before with "Star Trek Continues...)
But holy shit-- you guys were right. After episode 5 it completely loses any sense of a labor of love and becomes another self-serious, stupid, pretentious, over-budgeted, HOT MESS... And episodes 9 & 10 are fucking PAINFUL.
I should have stopped watching at episode 5 when I still believed it was a labor of love/respect.
Reminded me of how much I loved Netflix's "The Haunting of Hill House" only to have the memory of that completely fucked in the ass by their incomprehensible, slow, tedious and STUPID "Haunting of Bly Manor."
But I can't unwatch it now...

Firefly was another MASTERPIECE... inspired is an appropriate word. Plus the cast was gorgeous.
Faye needed to be at least as sexy as Morena Baccarin in her Firefly prime:

i'm watching this week, only up to episode 3. vicious and julie are god awful. i actually like spike and jett and faye is ok, doesn't have the look at all but has the attitude.
i watched the anime in the last month, really loved it although its so fucking weird and out there and "singular" in that you can tell it was carefully thought through by one guy who did exactly what he wanted to do. the netflix live lacks that, it feels very generic and straightforward but i didn't really want a 1:1 translation of the anime

I mean, that's like someone who likes scat saying this is the best flavor of poop I've had so far.
I don't think my brain can wrap its mind around this and think of this as a positive endorsement.
