I'm trying to enjoy this show. I realize that it's inspired by a game I've never played, but I hate every character in this. Perhaps because the characters are from a game, each one has to be so over the top? Maximus is the one I hate the most. He came from being a squire, yet he treats his new squire just as bad as he was treated. Plus, I think he is a past acquaintance? His portrayal as a bumbling hero-to-be is just not appealing to me. The heroine is so clueless that I'm not rooting for her. Since the story revolves around her mission, I guess we're stuck with her. I love Walton Goggins work, but I've missed his motivation and reasons for being so cruel. He just feels like a cartoon evil bad guy that is just mean to have a villain for the plot.
But far and away, it's the music that is the most detracting to me. Seems like they dug up every goofy, sarcastic, comedy-type song and played them in this episode. I found a couple just unnecessary and distracting. The audio mix had me turning on the closed captions... which I hate. I'll try one more episode, but my expectations are low.
