Why did they make it so dark and gritty? That's my main complaint having seen the first episode.

Wow. Check out the reviews on Imdb. This is what thousands of fake reviews look like.

Wait until you go back to watch the original cartoon and find it's just a competent kids show for two seasons and one season of rushed nothing.

Maybe the reason these adaptations keep not working is because the source material isn't actually the magnum opus the people who watched it when they were 10 years old think it is.

Maybe it's just cursed, but the conversation around this show feels a lot like Star Wars that way.

‘Bender’ is a derogatory term for a gay man. Thus, I’ve never been able to credit the series with any amount of respect.
