ComicBook.com’s Evan Valentine reviewed the series’ when it hit Netflix earlier this Fall (which you can find in full here), and if you’re wondering whether or not it landed, here’s an excerpt, “…Edgerunnersย is a series that isn’t shy about its ultra-violence, and while some of the stars will meet gruesome ends, Trigge was able to help make those scenes hit that much harder when they inevitably happen to a member of the crew that we came to know over the ten episodes. Trigger uses an animation style that is fluid, energetic, and crackling with power along the way, helping to keep your eyes transfixed on the screen in fear that you might miss an animation cell along the way.”
