My friend described it with the phrase "reddit liked it," and I immediately crossed it off our list
Imagine living your life letting reddit be your filter for meaningful experience lmao.
Touch grass guy.
If the best description of something can only be broken down to "reddit liked it" then either the person doesn't know how to describe anything, or that's an accurate description in itself.
I watched the first episode and found it not interesting. Certain things were good and others bad, but I just didn't care and was waiting for it to end.
Apparently I'm in the minority as fans seem to flock to defend it. To each their own.
I'm not a "fan", haven't played the games, other than some of the shitty mobile one, but knew some of the lore.
Just binge watched all episodes... and judging all of them by just the first one, is a mistake. There's much more to the show than what amounts to a basic introduction.
But to each their own, as you said.
That's fair. I just figured when they introduced the characters and world building and I didn't find most of it interesting, then the following would be similar.
The following is somewhat similar, but it keeps changing, and there is a decent evolution of the characters (hard to pull off in just 8 episodes, but they did it). Basically it's 3 shows in one: in-vault, surface, flashbacks. Each one has its own conspiracy, which all come to a joint conclusion at the end, with a slight cliffhanger for the second season.
It's not the best show I've ever seen, but I'd say they did a good job.
