I never read the books nor played the games. Was expecting to learn the story thru the series. I failed. Cavill was good. A little too much for me with that Batman accent and faces. That Yen witch was bad... like all the rest. I got more empathy with baby yoda in 5 secs on screen than with all the characters of this series after 8 episodes together. I think the writing was the problem, I felt like a lot of sittuations were just thrown out at my face and I could not attach them into a storyline. 12 year passed by during all these 8 episodes???? All that to meet the girl in the woods out of nowhere? Wasn't she running the the opposite direction? Why was she running that way back to the farm? Was she jealous about Yen on that last phrase???? Too confusing. I now feel sorry I'll have to watch the 2nd season after that cliffhanger. Netflix, please get a better wrinting team for season 2 to fix all of this!
