Because the serial killers & pedophiles are in the original source material.  They in fact sanitized the series quite a bit.  Jed's storyline should have been much more gruesome and sad.

Happens with all things "televised" these days, sadly.

Seemed close enough to the comics (I understand changing it a bit to add a more coherent narrative arc), and casting was well done. I'm not a fan of CGI generally, but not sure how else you can do justice to the Dreamworld. 

I do hope as we get furhter in that it maintains many of the allusions to various folktales & myths from around the world, learning about those is part of the fun of reading the comics (IMO).

My only nitpick is... I don't mind the swearing itself, but it seemed jarringly anachronistic to have people in 1926 England saying "fu&k" so often.
