I finished it and enjoyed it. However Vicious and Julia were the weak link which makes me worried about where they are going with a potential season 2.

Which is fine because Cowboy Bebop had a lot of humor in it, but this show didn’t know how to balance that so you had these serious moments that then ruin themselves with an outlandish aside. Scenes in the original that were serious like the example I gave earlier with Asimov doing the drug deal—that didn’t need to have a random comedic interjection. Or when Vicious is about to kill all of those blind-naked drug makers. It felt like a parody by having the henchmen ask a dumb question and Vicious responds sarcastically before he yell then shoots up the room. Like ??? Was it that hard to keep the scene grim?I think they were going for an action comedy vibe and it worked better in the beginning.
I'm not disagreeing with you or Max. I was just trying to help you find the phrase you wanted.Which is fine because Cowboy Bebop had a lot of humor in it, but this show didn’t know how to balance that so you had these serious moments that then ruin themselves with an outlandish aside.

The only time I felt the comedic interjections were fine was the ecoterrorist episode and the episode with Faye’s con-mom.
Hey, it's awesome to hear that you decided to keep watching and ended up enjoying yourself. As much as I enjoyed Bebop my first time through, I think I've always enjoyed it even more on subsequent watches because of the attachment I built to the crew as well as being in the know on their histories. You should definitely come back when you've finished and give your thoughts on the rest, the last two episodes are pretty incredible.Ok this isn’t about the live action series but I commented on here before regarding the anime, after watching 8 episodes (then) I wasn’t really feeling it and was bored, but I decided to keep going and I’m glad I did.
I finished ep 20 two days ago and while I still don’t feel like this anime is in my tops, it is much better than how I initially felt about it. Ed is a great addition to the cast and I feel like all the episodes after she is in are better, even the “filler” ones (well most of the episodes are “filler” but they’re somehow better after ep 7-8). There are more episodes where we get to peek into the characters’ pasts, which is hella interesting. I am a lot more attached to the characters than I was after 8 episodes lol.
and ep 20, wow, this was one of the higher produced episodes (even if it isn’t one of the main story arc ones), and seems to be the most artistic one by far! The setting and mood gave me huge twilight zone vibes
Anyways I got 6 more episodes, eager to finish this ! As for the live action series, I might pass, maybe, idk, I’m all over the place sometimes in decisions
