I've never played the games, I know it's still new but I might as well just watch the white lotus. Atleast the white lotus keeps me intrigued with shock factors. Like, it's missing something that I'm sure will come to fruition but that's not how you draw viewers into a franchise they've never known. I barely have played a video game (less than 30yrs old) because I love movies/miniseries. It just seems so lacking to gain footing. Everytime I look at it, they're just talking about something, would be nice if "something" happened a bit more frequently. It was so hyped up on HBO, and they play it so much I'm getting bored already.
