Maybe, but I feel like the writers for that show didn’t really get Cowboy Bebop. The great casting and sets would have just worn off over time if the writing kept eroding at the show.

I think there’s also a reason the original show was only 1 season. Its not meant to be a deep exploration of the evolution of these characters or the world. Its a show where you see a section of the lives of these complex troubled people while they’re part of this bounty hunter crew, then they all kind of go on their own way.
