Decent Graphic Novel adaptations - pt I

 Legion

If you like musical sequences, astral projection, time travel and psycho-kinesis, may I be the nth to say you're pretty fuckin weird, but bright side is you might like this decent show.

Umbrella Academy

More time travel, but it won't make your head hurt.

The Boys

Rude. Gross. Violent. Funny. Epic.

Motherless Brooklyn

 

I found this to be an excellent way to spend a lazy morning off.  I hope Edward Norton will continue to direct movies.  If I was going to be flippant, I would say this is Rain Man meets Chinatown, but in a GOOD way.

Excellent cast, decent twists and a great job of acting and directing by Norton.

The Outsider

I am watching this series for a second time with the wife and I am just as riveted and having just as many emotional reactions the second time around.  Based on a novel by Stephen King, the mastermind of American kitchen-sink horror, someone did an incredible job on the adaptation.  Not to mention the casting and pacing and general fucking aura of creepiness.

First time I watched this, I was thinking, "God damn, Stephen King books are just like decompressed X-Files episodes!"   Then I realized immediately I had it backwards and X-files episodes are just compressed Stephen King novels.
