Yeah I'll definitely watch at least the first episode before heading off to bed. Please be good and not too ott. Movie had a good balance between the goofy gags and more dry stuff.

Pretty eh first episode, but it had it's moments. Hopefully it improves from here.

Also, the cutting is way too fast for this kind of material. Totally out of step with the movie, and steps all over the timing of the actors. Feels slick for the sake of being slick... but that's probably just me.

No the pacing is definitely different, also feels like the density of gags is spaced out a lot more than the film. It certainly has some good moments though from what I've seen so far.

It definitely retains the original movie it was supposed to be. The original structure. All of the added filer seems to fall flat. Well, most of it.

Is it on Netflix? Feels like it should probably be on Netflix.

Not particularly feeling it as of the first episode. I don't mind cringe humour, and love the cast involved, but so it's like... yeah they're clearly not 17, I know that's the joke, but it surely wears off over the series?

Electro-City is amazing and feels like the real finale of the film. All the Tigerclaw stuff feels forced.

Ultimately: 8/10.

It feels like it should have been 5 instead of 8 episodes long. It retains all the humor of the original film, beat for beat, but that style of humor doesn't do well in longform.

the drama class segments are not working for me at all. just, whatever humor they are going for there isn't coming through. otherwise i'm on episode 3 and really enjoying it.
