Simple Man is adapted from the comic book. I've never read the comics so I can't attest to any dissimilarities. The drama follows four ordinary people who discover a demonic website which grants them super powers based on their desire . After making a deal with the devil they soon discover that behind the website is the existence of a sinister conspiracy.

The first half shows the background of each of the 4 characters stumbling upon the demonic website and obtaining their super power. Then the remaining episodes show how all 4 main characters meet, develop friendships and work together to unravel the conspiracy behind the demonic website. I really enjoyed the storyline and the suspense throughout the show. There’s a little bit of everything from humour to action to romance.

The main theme in this show is about human nature - that is good vs evil, right vs wrong, life vs death. Everybody knows you shouldn't make a deal with the devil because it'd be too risky, we should know that there will be dire consequences.

Being a webseries, it probably didn't have a huge budget and while I enjoyed this thoroughly, it could have been better executed.
