Let me start by saying I have never played the game this series is based on, so I came into this not knowing the story nor the characters.
I am although familiar with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey, as they both starred on Game of Thrones, and they have other television projects like The Mandalorian and The Worst Witch, respectively.
I will say this first episode blew my freaking mind, I was hooked to the series the moment it started. I am not the biggest zombie genre fan either, but this series' characters have gotten me hooked, the direction, acting and pacing of the story has managed to provide me with enough information to not only care for the characters, but to also keep watching it.
As I mentioned before, I don't know how faithful of an adaptation to the video game this is, but I can honestly say this first episode was an amazing one.
