Alert 🚨: readers who come through this review must notice that I didn't read the books or played the game, so my review will come as clean and neutral as the day my mother gave birth to me. First of all: lets just all take one second to thank and admire the people who worked on the VFX and the soundtracks. These two thing are the best things in this Netflix show. Now lets review : Episodes 1-3: good episodes, bit slow. The directors didn't focus on the story as they focused on the VFX and the soundtracks and thats why first 3 episodes have lower rating than the second half of the episodes (4-8). Notice im not saying they were bad, im just saying that it could been better. Episode 4: to be clear with you guys i watched episode 4 twice. The first time I understood the timeline but the second time I needed to watch it again just to know that im moving with show and not having any questions over ahed. Episodes 5-8: the real story and the real show. Directors focusing on the story and the dialogue more than the VFX and the soundtracks made me feel much better as i liked it more than the first 3 episodes. And i think people agree with me as the last 4 episodes have higher rating(9 and higher). To summarize: This show is great. Could been better like got. But its great just the way it is. The VFX, the soundtracks and most importantly the fighting scenes made me believe this show is from 2029 not 2019. It was very good. Hope season 2 will be much better. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 .
