Right off the bat let me start saying that this is based on a children/teens book, the show is supposed to be for "early" teens. That being said the first episode is quick paced and it is as close to the source material as an adaptation could be (next level would be a show verbatim to the books). We have not seen that much from the cast, but as child actors we would do good in remembering how well the likes of Emma Watson, Robert Pattinson and others started off, but so far I liked the quick witter Percy and the nervous Grover.
The show in no way portrays anything close to the reality of a developer studio and it does a poor job in representing the game community.
However, the show doesn’t take itself seriously and it does a good job giving you cringe moments that you don’t want to look at but at the same time can’t get yourself to actually turn away.
Is not the most believable acting, but then again I don’t think it is supposed to be. It’s kind of funny and it does forces with the stereotypes but with a good message overall.
I wouldn’t recommend this for most people but if you know anything about games or game development it is a cool “find someone you know” in the extremely exaggerated characters.
