I suppose this is considered science fiction. I believe it has just started airing. I’ve seen the comics on occasion around the internet and had no idea they were planning on adapting this into a series.

Has anyone seen the first episode yet? I’ll probably check it out tonight.

    The voices kill it for me. They’ve always just been monotone, nearly robotic voices in my head while reading the comics.

      Yes, this is exactly what I came here to write.

      The humor is all about decoding the language from the images alone, so the inflections and other verbal cues actually spoil every joke. There’s no ah-ha moment, because the meaning of the words is telegraphed to us simultaneously with the cryptic language.

      I don’t understand how anyone can make an entire show about this without understanding the fundamental principle here.

      Yep my exact reaction too. They’re way too emotive and human sounding.
