Disclaimer: This review is from the perspective of a fan of the first game. I find the show lacks much of what was so entertaining in the game. The suspense and pacing are off. Much like the so-so Uncharted film, this show feels like a hollow experience. The characters are miscast, character traits are altered for some unknown purpose, plot points and world ideas are changed for what seems like no other reason except to be different from the source material, etc. This seems to be another disappointing project much in the way "The Walking Dead" from AMC turned out to be. Rather then wanting to see what happens next, I found myself reaching for the remote to skip ahead much like "Rings of Power". For those that haven't played the games, they may find something to enjoy but I think the overall boring presentation and poor pacing may turn them off. For those that have played the first game, it's going to either be a lacking / disappointing parody of the source material or a potentially interesting altered take on the world. For me, my journey ends with episode one. Such a shame.
