I used to watch this quasi religiously, but Trevor Noah is the Anti-Stewart.
Post-John Stewart, really needs a new category and deserves a 2/10 rating, it routinely hits the shallow end or just deceives people in an attempt at humor.

I sometimes come across clips of Noah's standup or the monologues / interviews on Youtube, but it is shallow, and Trevor & Team irritates and condescends. Have I changed so much in ~5 years, or has the show changed into a desperate and clinging example of failure.

Disappointing.

watched the teaser trailer, initially seems like / i got the idea in my head ... they extrapolated one of the more popular Jack the Ripper theories (syphillis induced psychosis, in a discrete/secretly gay member of the British royalty/aristocracy) into a forensic/thriller series.

Hope i haven't spoiled the plot of the whole series entirely but ... it's probably a great concept for the Victorian Crime Procedural as long as you don't notice the concepts of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle / Sherlock Holmes in the characters, sets, crimes etc. Will watch anyway.

If you end up watching this, Before you start the "First" episode, hit pause and first watch the 2016 OVA & ONA "Awakening" and "Beginning of Destruction" as the precursors to this series to get the backstory for the main protagonist characters and the setup of the show's antagonist(s) as well. It's either https://trakt.tv/movies/noblesse-awakening-2016 or https://trakt.tv/shows/noblesse

Otherwise you simply get dropped into the messy "slice of life" cut with 'sociopath mutants killing indiscriminately' scenes with no lead into the characters.

It doesn't help that most will have 'forgot' about linking the Movie/OVA, since it was 4-5 years ago. Even Crunchyroll forgot about it.

やべっ Yabe (oh no, it's trash... )
That's what comes to mind when watching this show. It's ... juvenile ?
I don't know what I was thinking with "mysterious disease specialist", but this wasn't in the top 100 to see a Chuunibyou Doctor (8th grade syndrome -- where 13-15 year olds take on emo/goth/mysterious personas, or a high fantasy persona/identity, fade into social obscurity, take up a new "cool" fad, or are self-proclaimed geniuses, etc.)

Maybe it isn't entirely trash, but it's very close to being "Netflix Adaptation" on the scale of good vs unwatchable. i.e. somewhere unfathomable, below the middle of the scale.
