You don't have to be a fan of the games to enjoy the show, but fans of the game will pick up on the many references to the games, especially towards the end of the show.

Many aspects of the show don't really make sense, which is okay for this type of show.

For instance Quiet's character falls apart immediately. I'm assuming they realized quickly you can't have a show with 2 people and 1 doesn't speak. The show appears to take place at least 20 years after Armageddon, yet modern good are still available and preserved.

I went in with low expectations and it exceeded mine. They managed to take a simple game and expand it into a compelling universe.

It's faults aside, it's fun, it doesn't take itself seriously, and it does a good job of paying homage to the game franchise.

6/10 - would recommend especially to fans of the game.
