Love the comics on Instagram, but I don't feel like they translate to this adaptation. In the comics, to me, the beings are learning and observing things for the first time, in a very alien like approach.
In the show, the beings fully understand their world. It's not a new experience or sensation to them. The world is just beings doing basic human tasks, but with over complicated lingo that they speak and understand fluently.
That's where the problem lies. The beings have no reason you get invested. It's like a bad episode of a 90s sitcom, but without a story line you want to follow. Halfway through the first episode, I've paused it, as none of the nameless creatures presented offered a reason to care what happens next to them.
