    I’m curious. What do you mean by incoherent and ultimately pointless.

    I found the story pretty simple to follow, so I’m not sure what you mean there.

    As far as ultimately pointless, do you mean the writing was bad or do you mean the outcome was bleak?

      It’s simple to follow, sure, but it really felt like gameplay quests being completed in whatever sequence rather than an actual story being told.

      I know it’s based on a game and should resemble it as such, but if it’s not appealing to those who never played it, they are missing a huge part of the potential audience.

      For instance I’ve also never played The Last of Us, and that series was absolutely brilliant.

      And yes, with pointless I mean bad writing and extremely poor character development. In the end I liked none of them.

        How could you not like the Ghoul? I can’t follow your logic on the story, it’s flowed fine and had coherence across the season with maybe the exception of episode 6 which was almost a bottle episode.
