I feel like the only person alive, who misses Ed. It's just not Cowboy Bebop without Ed. I Think Spike and Jet are both very well cast. I like the actress playing Faye. But she's just misses the mark ,on the original character. But thinking about it I can't think of anyone else who can pull off Faye. She's just hard to cast. I don't like the portrayal of Vicious and Julia, but the acting was well done. I also, had a lot of fun with supporting cast. It was cool to see some old favorites as well as some new additions. If you're a fan watch it and decide. If you've never seen the original, my guess is you'll find it campy. It has cult classic appeal.
