I had a hard time getting into the new live action series too.. /: I love PW, but I am also a fan of Peter Serafinowicz (dude, spelling!), so I don't think it's the bias that prevented me from liking it. I mean, it could be, but I thought the tone was just weeeeeird as fuck. lol. One minute its quirky/real world with a focus on the psychological and the next minute its cheese. The original live action had more of a cohesive style that held it all together. (even if it WAS a little 90's era comic book a la nipples on the batsuit...)
I will watch more as it comes out to give it a chance. I honestly really want to like it.
