I entered this show knowing nothing of the video game, so I may be wrong if this is a continuation or a adaption. The first episode is where the show peaked for me. It offered an amazing pilot episode that set the scene for a relatable time. There are plenty of opportunities to offer up a well paced show. But the introduction of new characters that have only a one episode shelf life doesn't make sense. The show had so much potential but time and time again it simply fell way short of the mark. I am intrigued to see a second season to see if they can offer up better pacing with the writing and get away from all of the character building and get into the main storyline.
