I had high hopes because of the reviews, the success of the original video game (which I never got to play), and other recent game adaptations like The Witcher.

Unfortunately, after a great start, I've already lost interest by episode 3.

People are praising the acting but I'm not convinced.

Anna Torv is good, but Pedro Pascal's main job is to grumble and scowl. Sure it fits the role but it's not exactly ground-breaking.

The teenager is annoying as hell, which I guess is pretty realistic but not very enjoyable.

Adapting game plots to TV is hard. Even if the initial premise is good, games are a lot more engaging simply because they require audience participation.

TV versions of the story need to spruce things up significantly and success isn't guaranteed.

This one falls flat on its face pretty quickly.

It's not terrible and might be worth the watch if you are really into the genre, but it ain't a 9/10 either!
