You are basing this on a flawed point.

You can be uninterested in watching or playing if you want. Nothing wrong with that.

But no you don't have a very strong opinion on a game you've never played. You don't have ANY opinion on it. You'd have to have played it to have one of those.

You are basically just announcing you are ignorant for no reason lol.

I have a very strong opinion about TLOU2 and I have never played it. I think I'm qualified to do the same for this show. Which I have plans of watching once it has enough episodes out.

I'm not saying the show is not good, but that it has the most potential to have fillers since they can't have a shoot out every 10 minutes like in the game. They'll stop to smell the flowers a lot longer, and have conversations sitting down instead of while on the move.

Yes, I know. It's a TV show, it can't have the same pacing as the game, so anything extra is going to be filler

Nope, I haven’t checked that show out. I think 40 minute episodes are great when there’s a variety of things happening on screen. But when all it is is this a focus on one guy whose demeanor hasn’t changed since season 1, it gets boring pretty fast.

But, I will say maybe that’s great for some people who want episodes that have a strong presence and silence instead of lots of action and dialogue.

I hate non-diverse casts or shows that don't give female characters lots of space. but of course, if something exceptional-but-very-white-and-straight comes along, I will watch it.

also, "Babylon 5" really did have "high school theatre production" energy, as explained in this text. I loved it, but I don't want to watch anything with that kind of vibe for 100 episodes again. https://www.tor.com/2019/06/13/babylon-5-is-the-greatest-most-terrible-sf-series/
