I never saw the show on Netflix but I can't imagine it held a candle to the classic graphic novel. It's been a very long time since I last read this and I'm glad to say that it still holds up. I've always adored Forsman's art style, kinda like a grown-up, fucked-up Peanuts in some ways. James and Alyssa are a comic romance for the ages, one that's as brilliantly fun to read as it is chaotically destructive. Maybe I should watch that show now. Is it too late to get on that train?
