So, I'm 3 episodes in and I gotta say, the first 2 are a slow burn but a nice progression. Genuinely, we commence out with a bang! It's very proximate to the games opening scene which is hailed by a sizable portion of game reviewers and players community as one of the most thought out and experty crafted opening scenes to a game thus far. I definetly concur with that assessment 100%!
When I say slow burn I mean a good & necessary plot development. I'm not sure why so many folks in the reviews here are mad that it's developing a story, lol. That's the hallmark of a great show and they are doing it perfectly.
Episode 1 and 2 basically flow into each other and are best watched back to back without a break. The intensity ratchets up to a boil then boom, we get an expertly choreographed action scene in episode 2 towards its end. They handled that PERFECTLY and led up to it flawlessly.
I'm trying to convey, that this isn't the run of the mill 90% of shows we have out now that might as well be written by AI l, lol. This show is hitting on ALL cylinders. From screenplay to acting to cinematography to PRACTICAL EFFECTS (mixed with cgi AT THE PROPER TIME where it's used in perfect quantities and not overdone) to Directing and everything in-between L. O. U is getting it done (right!)!
Look, I'm not sure what the folks dropping ratings from 1 to 4 want but I think you all are being insincere with those ratings. I get it, episode 3 made a bunch of people "uncomfortable" but seriously, its LIFE! Yes, I would say that lgbtq agendas in film are being pushed really really hard in many cases but I don't think this is one of those cases where it was "forced" as some reviewers are saying. I honestly saw the progression of that "relationship" done very realistically given the circumstances. Moreover, I'll even admit that the writers legit had me caring about those 2 characters that I was like "DAMN" when what transpired towards the end of episode 3 did.
So, overall, if you actually read all this...give the show a chance. I seriously think it's going to maintain at least a 90% rating by time the season is over and it will have been earned. It has A LOT going for it and I hope it doesn't take some insane drop in quality because it's progressing perfectly in my opinion!
