It was better than a certain polish show of the same name. That’s about the best thing I can say about it. And Henry well he is quite fun to watch… I mean was. Probably the only reason to watch… which disappeared
I hated this show so much, it made me legitimately angry trying to slog through it. I guess you have to have played all the games, read all the books, and sucked all the fairy dicks for it to have made any sense at all.
Since I had done none of these things, I just saw a random mishmash of characters in different places in different times with zero understanding. Nice hunchback boobs though.
The monodrone dialog is what turned me away immediately. I get that’s what he sounds like in the game, but doing it 100% of the time in live action is torture.
Really? I don’t like fantasy much, didn’t know anything about the former stuff going in, and ended up liking it despite the disjointed nature of the first episode.
Doing two timelines in parallel was… A narrative choice… But once I got my bearings it was plenty good.
Leaving aside the overall quality of the show, you can’t just recast the beloved main character and expect people to still be excited about it. Especially when the original actor is also a gamer who raved about how much he loved the source material, left the show for the right reasons, and connected with the fans so well.
I’m honestly surprised we got two decent seasons. I knew Netflix was going to screw it up, they have a horrible track record. Why do people still pay for it? How many times do they have to burn its users?
Ok, first seasom had its issues but I’d agree it was decent, showed potential. But which other one was decent? Second one was abomination, third I didn’t make it past Thanedd
I can’t even put my finger on what was the issue with it specifically. But the fact that I endured S2 and couldn’t make it through S3 should tell you all you need.
They got back to actually adapting source material, but made it more stupid. The characters were just destilled versions of themselves, there was no depth.
I gave up after the Thanedd episode where they were acting like there is this grand plan that they slowly uncover for you, Ocean’s 11-style - they tried to actboh so clever but it was just so not clever they made themselves look stupid.
I’m pretty sure he left, or at the very least they “agreed” to stop cooperation. But I might be wrong, I didn’t pay that close attention to the drama back then.
Damn his team need props for the building a PC video. Locked in an entire demographic worth billions for just a cheap video that probably cost 5 grand to make.
Like with so many shows and movies i think a lot of it is down to a grave misunderstanding of what a producer should do. A producer shouldn’t be producing the show/movie. A producer should produce the money to pay for the show/movie because it’s a project they believe in.
