I don't know the video game, so I can only rate it on what it is. A wild ride, quite foul mouthed, lots of gore at times, and quite a memorable performance by Sweet Tooth, and Stone, the lawman who wants to impose his will on the 'outsiders'. Because the grid went down, there are enclaves behind walls where the well-to-do thrive, and lawlessness everywhere else. John Doe is a 'milkman' making paid deliveries from one point to another. And milkmen usually have a very short life span. He takes on a delivery job that requires him to travel from New San Francisco to New Chicago and back, and has 10 days to do it. Not easy. But a lot of fun to watch. And if a person is easily offended by some of the language or scenes, why are they watching it? If one forgets everything else, one will remember Sweet Tooth. It is so over the top at times, impossible to take much of it seriously. It leaves things open to a Season 2.
