I suppose this is considered science fiction. I believe it has just started airing. I've seen the comics on occasion around the internet and had no idea they were planning on adapting this into a series.

Has anyone seen the first episode yet? I'll probably check it out tonight.

Terrible reviews so far. I think a movie would have gone over better

The main problem with the series is trying to stretch a concept that works in 4 panel comics into a half hour sitcom. You think the solution would be to make it LONGER?

not surprised honestly. The trailer screamed "generic whacky!!! fun!!! comedy animation" and they just slapped a familiar IP ontop, didn't match the vibe of the comic at all.
