Review

Now this is how you turn a video game into TV Show/Movie. This show is spectacular. I honestly am trying to find some reason to point it out being bad, but it really is the exact opposite. It is almost perfect.

Padro Pascal, between this and The Mandalorian, has become my favorite actor. His ability to provide such deep emotion is outstanding. I know he has done a lot of videos about being "Daddy," I'd let this man take me out to dinner.

Bella Ramsey also needs a solid shoutout. She has done so well, being a child of this world, and she really just kills it. I love watching her work.

My favorite episode is the Bill and Frank episode. I know some people are upset as it deviates from the story quite a bit, but it is a beautiful episode. It was amazing.

As for accuracy to the game, I couldn't honestly tell you as I have not played the game, but I will after this show. From my understanding it is incredibly close to the game and I highly recommend watching the episode breakdowns from the YouTube channel New Rockstars which does a great job of recall and references to the story at large.

My Rating

This will be my favorite show of 2023 and it is only March when I write this. I give it a 9 - 9.5 out of 10 only because some of the episodes don't have the same pacing as others and it shows.

Parental Rating

My parents are out. There is a ton of language and violence, but mainly that is overall. Most of it is point specific and what I mean by that is the bulk of violence and language is very specific to the events happening. It isn't just thrown out all willy nilly. I make these qualifiers as because of this, I think that I could get them to watch it and I would want them to because it is SOO good. I think naturally my mom would reject and Dad approve.
