I loved the game and played it a lot, alone or with friends, so this was awesome to hear about the Series on Netflix.
From a technical perspective this show is really well made, but story wise it messes up with pretty everything from the original.
This is leading me to rate it with just 6 out of 10 Stars. I was hoping to see some nice ideas given by the great template the game was, but instead this feels more like just another sell out of successfull brands.
Of course it's hard to recreate a story, especially if it's something that has a big fan base with big expectations, but then you either have to do it right or you'll have to be creative enough to tell you own storys within the universe. It's not that the Videogame has so much story, you could easily have packed everything in 15 minute episodes and there would be still enough time to fill it with own ideas.
There is one thing I have to criticise, the small reverences the show has made weren't even as good as what I was expecting them to be, there is Fan Art, that is way better than this Netflix Production. But maybe this all comes from my high expectations as a Fan of the original.
Just said, it's a good show, people who like the style and don't know the game will probably have a really good thime with this, but speaking for fans I think it's fair to say, that they left a lot of the potential in their ink feather.
