Look at it this way: Why start with something divisive like this adaptation instead of something universally beloved like the 1995 movie? I also highly doubt that anyone not familiar with the setting would be able to follow what's happening (at least in this first episode).

Isn't it only divisive for people that watched the original? Those of us who watched the 1995 movie are very much biased here.

I think people hold the original movie in high regard for its cerebral nature, and how it directly inspired cyberpunk narratives in the West especially. The Matrix, Cyberpunk Red/2077, and other things take a lot from the 1995 movie.
