Millar's original core idea remains (it's one of my favorite books of his) but execution is all over the place.
Some performances are very weak, but it's understandable given how weird dialog and pacing are. Some dialog feels very unnatural and forced. Like the writer is trying to make a point as fast as possible instead of making characters get to the point by talking to each other like actual human beings. It feels rushed, desperate to get to a point not minding HOW it gets there.
Even though is poorly written, premise is captivating enough to get you attention, but that's all Millar, not the show-runners. Some characters are very likable (Tuka, Wagner), but other are very cartoon-y (pretty much every antagonist)
Cinematography is great.
