Not played the games. Decent first season, nothing exceptional. Can't understand why it is as well regarded as it is. It's well made but the pacing is terrible with some episodes having nothing of real note happen. Some episodes longer than others and having a 42 minute finale made no sense to me, could have stretched that out longer surely. At no point did it feel particularly gripping outwith perhaps the first episode. Somewhat controversially I thought episode 3 was arguably the best episode outwith the first one. Feel generous rating a 7, will watch next season but not particularly looking forward to it.
