Havent read the books, nor played the game. The 3 different timelines/stories can be confusing, especially after you lose focus because of the boring dialogues. CGI is poor, fight scenes are average. The show is so woke ( hello Netflix!), they have plugged in so much diversity it is laughable, since the story is supposed to take place in Medieval Europe! Awkward at best, but above all cringy and annoying coz it seems more and more like cultural misappropriation, trying so hard to shove the woke/PC/diversity ideology down our throat thru every tv shows, movies, ads, shows...it is like stories, plots are secondary, the woke ideology must prevail! Henry cavill is pretty much carrying the show on its own. Not impatient at all for season 2, I might even skip it. Who are those people who say it is the "best show everrrrrr!"?
