Big fan of the games, so I will be watching, likely starting tonight. I read some positive reviews too which has me a bit hyped now instead of cautious optimism. The show's world leaves room for a really cool adaptation.
My understanding is the show is not following the story from one of the games, but it's own story within the world of the game. Which I think is probably for the best to not get all the game people upset about not following the story, but if they can stay true to the world created, and have a good story to tell of their own, the potential is there to be a good show.
