For as much as this live-action adaptation of a beloved anime was anticipated by fans, Cowboy Bebop looks at this point more like Cowboy womp-womp for Netflix. Based on the early reaction from fans, that is, as well as reviews such as one from our sister publication Variety that laments the series is just the latest example of "Netflix bloat."
Indeed, the early Rotten Tomatoes scores are pretty rotten. A 50% rating right now from critics, and a similar 53% aggregate score thus far from audiences. "Please don't watch Netflix's Cowboy Bebop," one Twitter user pleaded. Remarked another: "It’s now somehow worse than CW quality." Are people over-reacting? Is this really another example of an overly bloated streaming service that allegedly prizes quantity over quality?
