In film you would say 'popcorn flick', in this case it's a solid, but generic popcorn action tv show.

At one point the best rated show on all of IMDB. I was really excited, waited for all the episodes, put it on in 4k with all bells and whistles. What a letdown.

The show looks great, the special effects, the scenes, the atmosphere, all good. But the show itself uses the most generic dramatic elements that everyone has seen hundreds of times already. They don't apply them in a unique way, either. It's just like watching any other action flick.

Also what's with those NPC conversations? I know it's a videogame adaption, but in many (too many) scenes this show literally feels like a videogame does. The same empty NPC muttering in the background that you hear in a video game when figuring out how to progress to the next checkpoint.
