Haven't heard about the game not played it but the stage is set for yet another grandeur... Pedro Pascal does get another futile role and does make it appealing with his emotional quotient... The visuals are breathtaking especiall the lighting and wide angle shots at nights during the car shots are feast to the eyes.... Rest of the characters did justice to their roles ... Thanks to HBO MAX for adapting yet another adventurous game with all due respect... With first 20mins or so thought of skeptical this would fit into the imagination but strikes brilliantly with some emotional values.... Overall the stage is lit and wait for the fire works on later episodes.
