I can't understand the audience reaction to this show. You look on IMDb and it's all 9/10, 10/10, best show evaaaaaaarr.
Whether you enjoyed the game or not, this is one decidedly average TV show.
Also, I can almost tolerate El Spico as Joel (almost) but they couldn't have picked even just a normal looking human female to play Ellie? They really had to go with whatever the fuck Bella (a very ironic name, considering) Ramsey is?
Not to be nasty, but the game had you want to protect Ellie, not drown her in a river to put her out of everyone's misery.
Rose tinted glasses. I got that from Star Wars(not anymore though). Something mediocre came out? Amazing... Having been whipped already makes anything look good. Same is probably for TLOU fans who got a kick in the groin from part 2.
That makes sense from the gamer's perspective, but there's a significant number of reviews from people who claim to have never played either game.
Is this the only show they've ever watched and it's amazing to them? Do they just think everything's amazing? Does Pedro Pascal have that big a fanbase?
Plenty of other recent shows got positive review bombed (fake reviews). It's become quite common. Its one of the reasons why I stopped using Amazon to do research on stuff, because it curates search results to prioritize Chinesium shit, and lots of the reviews are clearly fake. Companies stand to win or lose lots of money by manipulating reviews. With how corrupt everything has become, why wouldnt they lie about that?
In general the bar has been lowered so much that a mediocre show at best gets great reviews. I wouldn't know any other answer except what ApexVeritas has said. I still believe it's partially because of the lowered bar. I know people who like it and those people are far less critical than I am.
