    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.

      As a fanboy of the books/games I recommend people watch the polish show from 2002. It is better than what Netflix made.

      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.

      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.
