Saw the trailer and gave it a go, but was not expecting too much, because of the low budget production that becomes evident after seeing the trailer. It turns out that the show is very very good. I ended up watching the 5 first episodes in a row. The acting is very good (mainly from the main character), and the simplicity of the environment along with the writing is excellent. Very refreshing show within a story that is not new (a normal guy that ends up with powers), which makes even more relevant the great writing here. I genuinely laugh a lot, which is something very hard to find (at least for me) on most of the comedy shows from last years ( and some with high budgets).

I didnt know there was a book nor a videogame (sorry if this offends any fan). I saw the trailer on Netflix and gave it a go. The series first scene was very good, with that fight scene on a lake/swamp. And then, as I keep watching the episodes, I found myself whatching it from a comedy prespective, enjoying most of the poor dialogues and the background music that most of the times was played out of context ( it looked very random). Most of the dialogues of the series seem taken (almost copy/paste) from the "cliche" world, which akes it hard to get involved for the majority of the main scenes. The way the music is chosen and played for the scenes does not help either. The character build (appart from the main character (Gerald)) during the episodes are very poor as well. Special effects are Ok, and some battles are good to watch (being the coursed princess fight at the top).

Despite of this, Ill give it a go to 2nd season just to clear my curiosity if I should continue to see this series from comedy prespective or not.
