Blade Runner: Black Lotus
Watched the first two episodes
The good:
-detailed, colorful environments that capture the look and atmosphere of the movies
-well done fight sequences
-likable enough characters for what little we've seen so far
-they do seem to be dealing with stuff that directly ties into both movies without relying on JJ Abrams-style overt nostalgic pandering. specifically the implanted memories.
The bad:
-characters look rubbery and cheap and stand out in a bad way against the rest of the show
-movement outside of the fight sequences is unnatural and weird looking; stuff like walking, facial expressions, talking reminds me of watching a mid-PS3 generation cutscene
-basic, generic "amnesiac slowly discovers she's a badass, wants to know why" plot so far. Willing to let them have a bit more time to get somewhere here since they've only had 2 episodes at 22 minutes each but the broad beats here are nothing we haven't seen many times before.
overall:
pretty okay/10
Willing to give them a few more episodes to see how things develop. It's not horrible but they didn't knock it out of the park on the first two episodes, either.
