Messed up but good

I found the series quite enjoyable. I suppose perspective matters. It's quite disturbing, a lot of graphic violence and some horror, and this series could be the Most Triumphant Example for Body Horror. Overall though, a lot of it is played for black comedy or even going for a weird sense of being heartwarming. Laser-Guided Karma and Ironic Hell are also commonly used.

Fran is likely to be a tough protagonist to sympathize with for some, but she is a lab creation with a twisted sense of morality and she doesn't tend to do things that are actively directly wrong. Plus many of the recipients of her surgery deserve it anyway.

The series doesn't really have a strong sense of continuity and many stories only last one chapter and aren't referenced later. It also feels like the series ends abruptly with the last chapter being a rather lame dream sequence and return to the status quo.
