The show is not high art. No one will be winning an Emmy for acting. It certainly doesn't warrant the high rating on RT. But it's entertaining, engaging, visually stimulating and a fantastic adaptation of the games.
If you're expecting a Last of Us calibre deep dive into society and the human condition coping with an apocalypse, you'll be disappointed. If you're expecting a fun romp through the wastelands with body parts gratuitously exploding into red mist, then look no farther!
The Ghoul definitely picked Bloody Mess as one of his perks.
One of us! One of us!
Best review I've seen so far
Which is it? because an entertaining engaging, visually stimulating show which is also a fantastic adaptation of its source material should have a good rating
I've basically given up on ratings and threads about ratings because every idiot thinking they sound bright, reduce everything to either "best ever, Jebus herself couldn't make it better" or "dog shit that will make you pray for cancer to take your disappointment away"
PS: not referring to you (person I'm replying to) when taking about idiots that polarize everything... Referring in general to polarizers (that's a word, right?)
Without having seen the series I'm guessing yours is probably the most accurate descriptor I've seen so far.
Whenever it comes to fandoms like this, the camps are always so divided in extremes. And neither camp is usually correct.
I mean, I saw Twisted Metal season 1 and it was not good by means an "actual reviewer" would stand by. But was it enjoyable? Sure. (Probably more so if I was high while watching it.) Will it be remembered? Not by a long shot.
The Fallout TV Show is likely better than TM, but I doubt it will remembered alongside Breaking Bad, The Sopranos or even Futurama for that matter.
I couldn't wade through the first episode of the Last of Us. I watched this entire thing in one sitting and have now seen most of it twice. It deserves a decent score on RT.
