Dan and Dave have once again managed to ruin another franchise. This is a woke Netflix adaptation with nonsensical gender swaps, interracial relationships, and current-day politics. If that isn’t off-putting enough, Dan and Dave deliver immersion-breaking dialogue littered with swear words and overall lazy writing, reminiscent of the final seasons of Game of Thrones. It’s unfaithful to the books, rushed, simplified, and dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. While a casual Netflix audience might enjoy this, being accustomed to mediocrity, I recommend sticking with the books or watching the Chinese (Tencent) adaptation.
