I will say that it took me an episode or two to get entirely into it and there are some episodes that are better crafted/executed than others. However, this is one of the best new shows I've seen in quite some time and I'm glad I checked it out. Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal have great chemistry, great backstories with their characters, and perform epically. The directing and production are very impressive as well. There are quite a few unexpected twists and turns that come up and the way things unfold really kept me engaged, even emotionally too! I've never played the video game but I know for a fact that the show is quality in many ways! It makes you think like what things would be like in a post-apocalyptic world with people, means of survival, precautions, etc. Bring on more!!
