The Fable - Episode 1 - The Fable Taps Forehead

The Fable – 17

The Fable – 10
The Fable is a living example of great manga's power to thrive with middling adaptation (but it does have to at least be middling).
The Fable – 05
While the humor is somewhat hit and miss, there's a generally absurdist tone to this material which I quite like.
The Fable – 22
None of these people have any idea what they're up against with Akira.
The Fable – 16
In thinking about it The Fable is kind of what would happen if King of the Hill and The Coen Brothers had a love child.

As much as anything, for me this is a series for viewers who appreciate acting.
The Fable – 03
I'll say this for The Fable - I've liked every episode better than the one before it.
