Strange Planet

It's Strange Planet, what more can I say?

Firstly, if you're expecting an intricate, raunchy show with heavy nuance then you're going to be disappointed.

The show is what it says on the box.

It does what it sets out to do, which is present episodic stories about the human experience through unique dialect and grounded storylines with a generous, dry sprinkle of humor.

The characters, considering they all have the same basic appearance, were delightfully realistic - from character design to animation movements to each one's chosen VAs.

The overall vibe is amusing, wholesome, and well grounded in this particular reality not far off from the one we live in today. There's also loads of easter eggs and references to both our society and the society within the context of the OG comic posts.

If you don't like one episode's storylines or characters then good news! Each episode shows us different beings and perspectives with different motivations and outlooks, much like the beings in our world.

It's exactly what I would've expected as a long time fans of the comic shorts - with animation and voices added that only elevate the messages told within. I found it very engaging, if not slightly predictable (which of course it is bc these are stories about people going through relatable situations and coming out the other side).

So don't let the negative reviews keep you from giving it a try!

It's a good show and I personally look forward to seeing more!

The comic that this originates from depicts the aliens coming to Earth and getting accustomed to things that we humans consider normal, and putting the minor human grievances/annoyances we experience in our day-to-day lives in very literal matter-of-fact ways. In short, it's aliens experiencing the most mundane things to us as unusual to them.

In this adaptation, the aliens are on their own world experiencing things that they are accustomed to already. They just speak in literal and unusual ways, but this is not the reflection of their inexperience as it should be from the comics. It completely misses the point of the originals, and isn't any funnier than any other mediocre animated series. I'll still watch the rest of the first season to see if it gets better, but as of now it doesn't seem worth bothering with.

Lots of folks have different thoughts about the show "Strange Planet." Some people don't think it works well on TV, saying it's too slow and dragged out. But when I look at it without any bias, I think some of these complaints come from folks who never really wanted it as a show in the first place. They were set on not liking it. Personally, I think "Strange Planet" is a nice and good show to watch.

Also, it's worth saying that sometimes people don't like adaptations that stick too closely to the original. It's tricky to find the right balance between staying true to the old stuff and making it work in a new way. Not everyone's gonna be happy. This show is all about digging into what makes us human. It sneaks in funny similarities to how we act and think, making us think about what being human really means.

To wrap up, not everyone will be into "Strange Planet," but it does give us a new way to think about our lives.

I love this show! To begin, I have never heard of the comic before this show. It is because of Dan Harmon's attachment to Nathan W. Pyle's creation that I was introduced. This new series is entertaining, heartwarming, and funny. The animation is unique, and the voices are provided by some awesome actors. Personally, I enjoy watching shows that have some amazing episodes, and that also contain a few episodes that are just okay. It's the combinations of these episodes that make a series a fulfilling roller coaster ride, rather than an exploding short burst that becomes forgettable sooner than later. Strange Planet has the potential to last long into the future, and into our hearts. I'm only three episodes into the show, however, I'm a fan. The show is imperfect. Maybe, that's the takeaway. We're all imperfect and strange, but we should enjoy Strange Planet for what it is anyway. I look forward to watching more as the series progresses! Gratitude!

I'm sorry but people just really don't understand how to review something. Is this show good? No not really. I love the cartoon and all it's genius. But this show just doesn't adapt from the comic. They're also just not staying true to the comic. Too much regular dialogue like a human would have. I think what's going in is a bad combination of it being boring, storylines are just kind of random, and again it poorly adapted. I'm noticing here on episode 3, a repeat character. If they continue to do this, we might get some theme and actually develop some substance. However if they don't get some consistency, I'm good to stop soon. Just don't give it 1 star, that means it offended you to your core.
