I came into the show hoping for the best as both a long time fan of the books and video games and what I saw was a frustrated director's fan-fiction of the first book. It is a non-sensical mess that makes you feel nothing but a bitter feeling of utter disappointment. It really is a shame. Somehow, the screenwriters has some of the best and most three-dimensional characters in all of media and they still made them suck. The characters have no goals and and they seem to change every minute or so. They are inconsistent and unbelievable shadows of the characters. They don't go through arcs, making the story even more boring. Half of the scenes feel useless to both the plot and character development, and the other half is a direct copy of the books that is somehow so bad that it sucks as much as the other half. I really don't understand from where these high scores for the show are coming from. The show makes no attempt to explain what is hoping on to average viewers and it is still so trash that fans cant enjoy it either bringing the question of who is this intended to? If you're a fan its worth watching while as background noise, and if you're new, don't waste your time.
