This was an interesting video. I feel like I've learned quite a bit, and it's obvious you did your research. If I were to give a criticism, I feel like you need to work on your speech. The way you deliver your information feels stilted and it's a bit too obvious you're reading from a script. You also keep stumbling over your words, and you keep having to correct your mistakes mid-sentence. I feel like maybe you should rehearse your speech a bit more before you record and/or do a few more takes to avoid mistakes. I think you have promise as a video essayist. You just need to iron out a few kinks.

As someone who watched the original show, there are A LOT of things that bothers me in this adaptation, but if i didn't knew the original materials i would probably watch it after the season finale. So it is a god (infinity better than the movie we do not talk about) way to promote the original show. And if this first season do good, maybe they do a better job on the next seasons.
