I've only seen the first episode thus far. But speaking as a horror guy and a fan of the Parasyte anime, I love it. The tone is very different from the anime -- more broad ultraviolence and it's mostly for comic effect -- but the premise is...ehhhh...sorta the same if you don't think about it a lot. That's okay. This is its own thing. And also kind of John Carpenter's Thing.
