what a genuinely bizarre show. really not sure who this is for. to fans of the game, it's a weird patchwork of the game's major events mixed with a completely different story seemingly for the sake of it. new, original characters are arbitrarily added into the plot to take up space and focus at the expense of others, to the point it greatly undermines the franchise's history of anti-government themes without offering anything tangible in its place. to new viewers, it's a confusing and overstuffed crime drama with a muddled plot with a narrative that keeps slingshotting between different time periods, random factions that aren't properly explained, and an unclear core premise where there's no way of telling what anyone's motives really are.
