I suppose this is considered science fiction. I believe it has just started airing. I’ve seen the comics on occasion around the internet and had no idea they were planning on adapting this into a series.

Has anyone seen the first episode yet? I’ll probably check it out tonight.

    Yes, this is exactly what I came here to write.

    The humor is all about decoding the language from the images alone, so the inflections and other verbal cues actually spoil every joke. There’s no ah-ha moment, because the meaning of the words is telegraphed to us simultaneously with the cryptic language.

    I don’t understand how anyone can make an entire show about this without understanding the fundamental principle here.
