We're past the days when every video game to film adaptation proved a massive dud. Some TV Shows based on games are genuinely great.

Not a bad reasoning, I feel the same - it was good but safe. Whereas Arcane and Edgerunners came with original stories, and they're really good on their own.

Was it really as "safe" as the article claims though? They diverted a full episode early in the show to have an hour long homosexual romance episode that completely changed the character paths and storyline for a major section of the game. I'm not really sure what "safe" even means in the context of the article's argument.
