It's not vulgar, there's no violence against anyone or defense of items of war, nor any willingness to go to war, and episodes don't involve kidnapping a woman to kickoff the theme of this week's show, which is remarkably similar to last week's, if we were watching, well, fill in the blank. Movies love that over used trope, too.

But here, in this quiet, fresh, funny, part of the universe, you can sit back and relax and watch a show that makes you feel good and think about things for just a few more seconds because they've renamed almost everything with funny vocabulary.

The storylines are heartwarming not terrifying or heartbreaking or disgusting or even disturbing. So, yes, if, your life is so bent, that you can't cool down and breathe easy, if you can't laugh at quirky, and you need adrenaline and blood, guts, murder, office-gossip, and hatred, it's no wonder that you don't approve of this wonderful show. Too bad; it's awesome.

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'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.

I had no solid expectations when starting the show since although I'm a longtime enjoyer of the comics, I was very intrigued as to how well the format would translate into a whopping 24 minutes per episode show. The veredict: Not very well. HOWEVER, that does not make it a bad show. Pros: The storylines are sweet and down to earth (ironic ik), the characters are likeable, the backgrounds are pretty and the animation works well enough (smoothly animated rigs) and it even made me smile a few times. Cons: It can get long and slightly confusing since characters are not given names and their appearances outside of clothing items are all the same. Also the joke about them using literal descriptions for everyday things gets old quick and is also strangely inconsistent (Alcohol = Mild Poison but Restaurant = Restaurant?) plus some of the wordings had me seriously scratching my head at times (took me a while to understand that fabric tubes meant socks).

Something that's noticeably lost from the comics is the naivete they gave off. The funny aliens were often discovering new earthly concepts and hence their literal alien descriptions and feelings towards them made more sense, while here it's just an alternate earth that works just about the same except humans are aliens, some animals have three eyes and they use funny words for some things.

Overall this really felt like an Apple TV original to me, same vibe as say, Central Park in that very relaxed and human tone, something nice to have on in the background while doing something else but that might feel overly long if sat down to watch. I am curious as to if and how the stories will continue to interconnect and if a consistent main character or characters will be set.

Id never heard of the comics or artist before this show, i had just watched this show. From my perspective, the show is great. Its a new fresh look on how other life could interpret this world and its down right funny. I love it and i hope for more episodes!

With that being said everyone who is comparing these to the comics is not giving the artist room to be creative. You have to realize all the changes that were made behind the scenes of our favorite tv shows that air today. Changes we dont even know about that made the show great in the end. Im sorry its not your version of perfect, but my outsider looking in view saw nothing wrong with this great show. It has room to grow into something great, lets not beat it down at the start.
