Season 1 follows the game (Pt. 1) so closely that it will spoil the game considerably. I assume the same is true of Season 2/Part 2. The game (pt. 1) is highly over-hyped (IMDB 9.7/Metacritic 9.2). The TV series is good, not great. I rate the game Pt. 1 a *7*. Season 1 adds 2 episodes that do not appear fully in the game, the weakest of the epidodes ('Long, Long Time' and 'Kin;' acting is great but the stories are weak). The entirety of the series S1 and game Pt 1 are overall depressing from beginning to end with only just one scene of comparative lightness throughout. Watch the series? Yes, but wait if you plan on playing the games. Play the games? Yes, but don't expect 9.7 quality.
