This one is a great example of why I don't read descriptions or watch previews, because the dumb twist got me, lol. I was pretty convinced I was in for some bland edgy video game adventuring slop, but the bait and switch actually pulled me in quite a bit. I'm not sold on it quite yet, but the character writing reminded me of Eminence in Shadow, an all-time favorite of mine that also had a bit of a slow start, so I'm hopeful at least. The second half of the episode had some good comedy beats and our cast seems to be filling up with weirdos, so I can see it being a very solid show if it finds its feet. But, ultimately, the premiere promised more than it delivered, so we'll have to see. I'll give it another episode or two at the very least. 3/5
