My favorite part in PeeWee's Playhouse is when Cowboy Curtis says "you think that's air you're breathing?" And then him and Peewee have a kung fu fight.
Dude, it was shit. It was shit because it was another IP that some writers got ahold of who had contempt or at least no understanding of the source material.
I love the actors they chose for Spike, Jet, and Fey. But the writing and direction was awful.
This series reminded me of The Witcher, in the worst ways, and I'm a huge fanboy of both IPs
As a huge fan of the original, I legitimately really enjoyed the live action show. Just watch it as it's own self contained thing and don't think too much about where it comes from. And don't take it too seriously. I'm sad that we'll never see more.
I watched all but the last episode before I just couldn't do it anymore. The show had its moments, but it just never quite came together. The acting for the main crew was pretty decent, Jet was phenomenally done. The changes they made for Vicious and Julia are pretty sacrilegious and hard to watch.
Same, except I did watch the last episode. Agreed on Jet (perfection), and Julia/Vicious (what the everloving fuck). Spike and Faye were fine. Even with the missteps, I was still willing to see where they were taking it, if given time for a few course corrections. But they hit that cancel button pretty much immediately.
I actually enjoyed it. IMO they didn't fuck up any of the characters or plot points, and the aesthetic was interesting. Nothing will beat the original, but it was still fun to watch.
I love the original, and I would 100% watch this. This would be the kind of show that is self aware enough to know not to take itself seriously and it would be fantastic because of it.
