Started watching this on Netflix. The first episode definitely is a great attention grabber providing a good peek into the protagonist and the story for the first season. I also liked how even though the main plotline changes (and introduces different antagonists)/between the different seasons the link to the main character remains continuous in a very fluid fashion. My main criticism is that several episodes in the final seasons do get slower and a bit overdramatic as compared to the pace of the first few seasons. Also some key characters in the final season seem to be specifically created and introduced to plug some holes in the plot. Despite the criticism, I would definitely recommend this show to folks who have watched and enjoyed anime like demon hunter, kabaneri of iron fortress, re-zero and similarly themed anime.

While this series is okay as a standalone one on Netflix, it misses a lot of the backstory and the layout thats necessary to engage a viewer. So I started watching the original series and then watched this and things made a lot more sense and the story although not perfect is decent for a continuation from the end of the initial anime series.

Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. I saw this on amazon prime and it was engaging enough that I had to watch all of it.

I then saw the original British version to compare. Overall, story arcs are similar, but this version is definitely more faster paced as well as darker and gorier.

Usually, I prefer original to remakes but this was definitely one of the few shows that had a close to the original adaptation with a more engaging direction and plot.
