I kind of like this show, I never saw the original so nothing to compare it too, but so far it's a fun show. Just finished episode 1

The depiction of Jet in the Netflix show is better. It gives him more depth.

The depiction of Julia in the Netflix show is great. In the original Anime she appeared in 2 episodes total.

I'm not sure if I like the new Vicious. In the Anime he was like Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII, ever present but not seen until much later in the story.

Faye is far better done in the Anime. In the Netflix show they never once touch on how horrible in debt she is as a result of her cryofreeze (spoiler: she's 75 years old).

Introducing Ed at the end was a very bad move. In the Anime, she creates a fake bounty to get the crew's attention then worms her way into their crew. They'd better expand on this in Season 2 in flashbacks or they could lose the audience due to how absolutely fricking bizarre she is.

I don't know what to think about Spike. The Netflix series gives him a lot more depth but the Anime makes him a more fun character.
