	Media	Author	Review
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"A cheap and artless re-creation of a beloved classic (...) I don't doubt that the people making this show adore and admire the original. What's missing is any personal perspective on all that affection"
		Kambole Campbell Empire	"Instead of feeling like a fun remix, 'Cowboy Bebop' is at best a just-okay cover version, and for the most part an out-of-tune rendition of the greatest hits (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A cosmic disaster (...) Let's watch something else (...) This was never going to be the 'Bebop' that fans hold so near and dear to their hearts, and that’s fine. The problem is that it doesn’t become anything else, either"
		Matt Kim IGN	"Houston, we have liftoff (...) It makes up for the lack of authenticity with audacity and personality (...) An unapologetic adaptation of the anime classic and manages to bring everything fans to love about the original to life"
		Rafael Motamayor Collider	"A colorless, soulless copy of a landmark anime series (...) 'Cowboy Bebop' clearly wants to work as a recreation of the anime but it is too afraid to really dive into the weirdness and visuals of its source material"
		Stephen Kelly Radio Times	"[It] has its moments, but it'll probably just remind you how good the earlier version was (...) It's a stark illustration of the ineffable difference between trying to be cool, and simply being cool (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Meghan O'Keefe Decider	"The shadow cast by the original is a blessing and curse. Without the imagination of that show, we wouldn't have the pleasure of watching John Cho truly become Spike Spiegel. The problem is the animated version is vastly superior"
		Scout Davidson Common Sense Media	"[It] fundamentally misunderstands what made the original so cool (...) The original was conceived as a way to communicate the spirit of jazz. But [this] show seems to forget that jazz needs time to breathe, to build"
		Andrew Mack Screen Anarchy	"Netflix took everything that was fun and wonderful about the original anime series and smothered it to death (...) There will not be a second series, the fans will see to that, and we can quickly put this behind us"
		William Bibbiani The Wrap	"That all the pieces come together in a heap of mediocrity is nothing to celebrate, but at least the original series is available right next to it, at the click of a button"
		Danielle Ryan Bloody Disgusting	"A jazzy, heartfelt adaptation with fun to spare (...) 'Cowboy Bebop' is a gorgeous sci-fi neo-noir adventure with a perfect score and loads of great performances"
		Max Covill The Playlist	"Viewers returning to the 'Cowboy Bebop' franchise with fond memories for the anime might enjoy their favorite episodes, but those turning in for the first time will likely be left wondering why this was a big deal"
