Shakir's take on the character is a dead ringer for his animated counterpart. Jet Black is the rock of the crew, serving as the unofficial captain of the Bebop - the ship they use to travel across the galaxy. When Spike's murky past comes to light, Cho effectively shows his character's darker side.
Cho manages to nail Spike's natural cool and swagger, along with his iconic fluffy hair. Cho's portrayal of the aloof but always cunning Spike is a fantastic turn for the actor. When they're not arguing over food and minor inconveniences, they get caught up in missions across different planets stuck in a culturally stagnated society gripped by late-stage capitalism. The backbone of the new series is the chemistry between the trio of bounty hunters. These gigs entangle them with oddball criminals and unnerving villains, and tug at various threads connected to the tragic pasts of each character. Throughout the 10-episode season, the trio of bounty hunters - Spike Spiegel (John Cho), Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda), and Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir) - take on different jobs across the galaxy. Like the original, the live-action Cowboy Bebop sees a dysfunctional crew of bounty hunters riding a thin line between poverty and comfortable squalor in the distant future.
