This is a good series but it has been overhyped. It's a fairly decent adaptation of the source material. If you haven't experienced the games already then you are more likely to enjoy this.

The acting is solid for the most part but lacking at crucial moments which stop you from really connecting with the characters in my opinion. Also for a zombie survival style series there is a surprising lack of zombies.

This is well worth a watch, especially if you haven't played the original game which is a far superior piece of storytelling. It really does lack anything special to warrant the 10 star reviews though. This is a solid video game adaptation but not a groundbreaking masterpiece. Considering the existing storyline there is to work with, this could have been better.
