God damn, what a fun show. Didn't go in expecting much, but I feel like that added so much more to the enjoyment. Casting was on point, didnt really feel like anyone stuck out as not belonging to the world. All in all, just a great first season and excited in how they follow it up on season 2.

Anyone else's thoughts?

I thought it was great, very entertaining. Getting emotionally invested in the main characters was great. Excited for season 2

Yeah, first trailer looked like shit. Second looked surprisingly ok, and then heard a lot of people giving it praise before I got to watching it a few days after it dropped. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to season 2.

As a fan of the original games, I was beyond hyped for the series. Me and my daughter binged it the first night and we loved it. Can't wait for season 2 and the new characters.

What are people's thoughts on the lack of supernatural aspects? I've seen a few people complain, but at the same time, I think they left it open enough. You had Preacher say he was possessed by a demon. Sure, he's definitely crazy, but you never know...

Plus, Harold has a pretty high kill count right now /s

I think keeping it a little more grounded was the right thing to do, atleast for the first season. If you go too crazy too soon, you'll lose viewers who aren't fans of the source material, because there's nothing super obviously supernatural about it from the trailers or premise, so it may catch people off guard in a bad way.

Season 1 didn't need it, as Calypso is the one that mainly gets the supernatural aspects involved. Once he's in play, we'll see what happens.

Something will likely be up with Raven too considering how much control she seems to have over her city and the people in it.

I was thinking that at first, but then like... really though there isn't THAT much supernatural stuff going on anyway up until the endings. I don't think you find out about Grimm or Darkside and what not being "demons" and shit until later games. Still time to introduce stuff there.

fuck yes

i'm so happy it turned out to be good! as a huge TM fan i only expected the worst honestly but damn i'm so satisfied with it.

i think there's still potential to create the calypso/supernatural/grimm/moritmer aspect to this. there's also still the whole marcus kane mindfuck plotline they could dive into. if they wanted to.

True. Plus, that voodoo doll she was making might get some play

I'm glad they actually did Sweet Tooth's flaming head, even though there's no way he should still be alive after that. lol.

Yeah. Shockingly good show. And shockingly did characters better than the games at points. I mean granny dread and flower power? Theyre actually likable.

and they managed to get two original characters leads over as well. The show is good.

and even freaking pit viper got in.

Better than it had any right to be.

Legit impressed they had John be fine with not knowing his past (if it truly was his past). Was so sure he was gonna go for it. Excited to see if Stu and Sweet Tooth get along too. I think Sweet Tooth is gonna be proud that Stu finally tried to kill someone, even if it was himself

I wasn't blown away or anything, but it was still solid and felt like it did an excellent job walking the tightrope of staying true to the source material while still working in a completely different medium and context. I'd be happy to keep getting more seasons.

If I never really played or have attachment to those games, would I still like it? I'm mainly only interested because my boy Mike Mitchell is in it.

I think you'd still enjoy it. There's a lot of easter eggs from the games but even as someone who played the games back in the day, I didn't notice most of them until I watched a video pointing them all out.

But yeah, it was surprisingly good and I really hope it gets a second season.

Ehhhhhhhh, it's an amnesiatic guy named John Doe that ends up driving a car named Roadkill. I'm pretty sure that it's supposed to be John Doe that drives Roadkill.
