Loved: The Vibes
I wanted to start out with this one because despite anything that I might write about later in the article, the vibes of this adaption were extremely good. It’s not an aesthetically perfect adaption, but it’s got its own kind of weight to it, and taken at face value, it’s a very good look. There’s also a lot of references and winks to the original comics that aren’t explained (and don’t need to be!) that add to the depth of the show. Overall, it’s a pretty serious adaption, much like the comics, and while there are some jokes here and there, it’s really a very emotionally fraught dive into the power of hope and how to heal after trauma.
