First, let's start off with the basics, way before this show was out everyone was told this was going to be a separate universe that goes a different direction and NOT a direct adaptation to the book, and is still written by Bryan Lee O'Malley (the writer of the books). And he does it near perfectly. It shows what would happen if everything went the same, except Matthew Patel beats Scott, from there it shows what everyone's life is like. Many characters who didn't get that much time in the book *ahem* like Lucas Lee *ahem* get their time in this show. It references the book constantly, but it seems quite a few people didn't notice it. It really feels like it's a sequel to the book as well as a separate story.

Let's discuss the main villain without spoilers, he was great, and you absolutely don't need to read the books to understand him, but it's much better if you do.

Scott is not in most of the show, but it really is great to see what happens if he wasn't there fighting the exes. The show isn't perfect, but as a Scott pilgrim fan this is about all I could want from this franchise. Every character (even Scott) have there time to shine.

The last thing I am going to discuss is the character development, they handled character development really well, certain characters had some really good character development that felt earned, some didn't, but most did.

If your a fan of Scott pilgrim, whether it's the books or the movie OR if you simply don't know Scott pilgrim at all...though, I would advise you to read the books first.... This is a very enjoyable series.
