wait a second, is this supposed to be an adaptation of the vertigo comic? i hope not, because even though i have no interest in ever watching this i find that kind of offensive.

lol yeah Warner/DC is literally just throwing the names of all their IPs at random shows now like the adaptation begins/ends at the dude is the devil and owns a piano bar both of which are poo poo I don't think DC owns. Kinda like izombie is just "uh there's a girl and she's a zombie I guess? Oh and has white hair" both of which are police procedurals naturally

I remember watching that show when it originally aired or possibly one of the first sets of reruns. It was pretty ok as ideas go but I barely remember what was going on in it.

Only bring it back as a Judge Dredd TV series.

I have a feeling most people wouldn't get the satire and would just be like "gently caress YEAH, THIS IS HOW YOU DEAL WITH CRIME!"

Yes. Almost Human could be better (more polish and I wish they broke from the police procedural wrap up everything in one episode mold, also ditch the predictable love interest) but I enjoyed that thought was put into the scifi and the two main characters had great acting chemistry.

Bayonetta owns bones. I wish I still had a system so I could play the sequel, but hell if I'm gonna buy a whole console just to play one game. She needs a PC release, IMO.

Yeah it sucks Nintendo got exclusive on Bayonetta 2, I've heard there is a PC version that exist to a degree and it wouldn't be terribly hard to port over if Sega would just loving do it.

The whole buying a console for just one game is my issue with Bloodborne too.

Are there any characters/storylines from the comic in the show? Mazikeen, Elaine Belloc, Michael, Susano No Mikoto?? Do they have the budget to depict the Mansions of Silence??

I think Mazikeen is the bartender but she talks and doen't have a mask so I'm not sure if they are going with the comic's plot.

they arent there might be some names borrowed or vague ideas like "bad angel," "japanese gods" or whatever but a big part of this is they're making Lucifer likable badboy and kinda the star rather than it largely being about side characters getting hosed over and used as pawns or collatoral damage in "No, you shut the gently caress up dad!"

the bible has less internal consistency than any of the comic/tv universes mentioned in this thread so far and far more gimmicky 1-off plot devices

I ate that episode up. I have little expectations for this show. Loved the protagonist. I expect to see the police officer in bra and panties before the season is over. If I don't then i will rate this show 0 rear end-fingering thumbs out of 10.

I just remember this crack team of supercops chasing a bad guy through a bodega or something, he's just about to get away but BAM bad guy gets cold clocked by a car door. Who opened the door? Wheel chair cop. You know he had a one liner about using your head.

There were a few other examples i can't remember now, but they just kept coming up with gimmicky ways a non-legs guy could catch people in a foot chase. It was super absurd, and would have been a fantastic Adult Swim show if they steered right into the stupidity. Instead they played it straight.

This means Fox is going to change it time-slot constantly with little to no reason and with little notice as often as possible. Then they'll claim low ratings, cancel it and put out a new reality show even though those have fell out of favor.

Was it last year or the year before where they put a bunch of people on a "farm" and they had to "survive". They billed it like it was going to be the biggest thing in years and then it bombed horribly.
