I wanted to give the live action atla a fair shot but good god it’s such a slog to get through and I’ve only watched the first 2 episodes. The characters feel like set pieces and not living breathing people, they talk in sweeping general statements and platitudes. It feels like there is no heart which is such a bummer. They are trying to speed rush the connections which just doesn’t work there is a reason you need 18-22 episodes to tell a character driven story, 8 is simply not enough.
