I'm not a "fan", haven't played the games, other than some of the shitty mobile one, but knew some of the lore.

Just binge watched all episodes... and judging all of them by just the first one, is a mistake. There's much more to the show than what amounts to a basic introduction.

But to each their own, as you said.

That's fair. I just figured when they introduced the characters and world building and I didn't find most of it interesting, then the following would be similar.

The following is somewhat similar, but it keeps changing, and there is a decent evolution of the characters (hard to pull off in just 8 episodes, but they did it). Basically it's 3 shows in one: in-vault, surface, flashbacks. Each one has its own conspiracy, which all come to a joint conclusion at the end, with a slight cliffhanger for the second season.

It's not the best show I've ever seen, but I'd say they did a good job.
