Anyone who had notice that after the success of this we got so many Video Game adaptations left and right trying to achieve what will this achieve. There is a Resident Evil zero adaptation, A street Fighter Adaptation and many more movies promising to be faithful to source material.

Damn, this series made me afraid of eating mushrooms for a 2 months. I am slowly bringing back the edible fungi to my diet but the trauma is still there. It also made me gluten free for weeks.

Great show and it made the show reach out to non gamers without pissing off fans.
It works because it is true to the source material, and I completely agree that the problem with many adaptations and why they fail is that the writer believes they can surpass the original and that arrogance alienates fans.
The majority of the changes are perfectly acceptable or minor.
They also made narrative tweaks that made sense and indicated that the show's producers are capable storytellers.

This adaptation would have failed if its movie because many important plots will have to be trimmed to an hour. Turning this into a series just works well.

You know a series is good when the haters are minority and fails to be vocal enough.

The best television shows and movies all successfully tell a human story. We became interested in movies and TV series in this way. I have a really deep connection to Joel because of Pedro Pascal's portrayal of him, the changes are also an improvement instead of a negative.
