I'm sorry to say, but this show isn't good. I held off on judgement until I finished the first season, but now I can personally say that this show is only popular because of the legacy of the game and because of Pedro Pascal's popularity. The story is completely rudderless, most of the episodes don't drive the story or progress the main characters at all. The heavily praised third episode with gay Ron Swanson isn't applicable to the rest of the story at all and it's the longest episode! Well-made or not, it contributes nothing to the overarching story of the show and has zero repercussions for our protagonists. The character development, chemistry, and dialogue is extremely clunky; the story is all over the place, with no apparent direction; and overall, most of the episodes are boring. It feels like a live-action remake of all of the cut-scenes in the game, but without the engaging gameplay that makes the cutscenes in the game make sense.

If the game hadn't preceded this show and we weren't so depraved for good cinema and TV, this show never would have received the attention it has. It's entertaining enough to watch, but giving it anymore than an average review is being too generous.
