Word on the street (well, the IMDB reviews which I admit hardly passes for the street) is they screwed up by not having these dudes on Earth like in the comic, experiencing things that are mundane to us but strange to them and giving their uniquely literal blue perspective on it all.
- Wait, so what have they done? I love the comics but I've not watched anything of the TV show yet. But the whole appeal of the comics is examining mundane, everyday human things from an alien perspective; I don't understand how they could try to adapt the comics and not do that.
  
  I haven't seen it, but apparently it all takes place on the planet where they live or something. So yeah they experience stuff and comment in the same way, but it's maybe not quite the same.
  
  Well, they ruined something that was ruining itself already. The more recent comics are just stupid.
