Just knowing the comic is relatively brief, I was pretty sure it would be more “high concept” but not rival the character driven aspect of the show. I’ll still be reading it when I get the time!

I enjoy how the show drops you into this alternate reality but doesn’t feel the need to explain everything. It took me a while to put my finger on it, but I was struck by how they chose to minimize modern day technology. I’m curious if there’s an eventual plot explanation (like the birth event, one of the children, or Hargreaves altering how tech evolved from our version of the world) or if it was simply a conscious worldbuilding choice to create more anachronistic charm and enhance drama by eliminating ubiquitous cellphones and computers.
