I've never seen the original show and hadn't even planned on watching the Netflix show, until I saw The Drinker's review. Expecting a dumpster fire of epic proportions I gleefully tucked into the first episode and... well it wasn't terrible. I mean there was nothing about the story or characters that made me want to watch more episodes but I've seen much much worse. And other than the casting choices there wasn't really any woke BS.

Production values were excellent -- I don't even want to guess what each episode must have cost to make -- and the casting and acting was uniformly fine, as was the dialogue. Really the only question should be why did they bother to make it.

Season 6 of The Expanse and the final season of The Man In The High Castle were fucking ruined by the show runners deciding to get on-board with 'the message'. Where's the outrage over those travesties, especially in light of how great the shows were up to those points. Relatively speaking Cowboy Bebop isn't even a fart in a bathtub.
