I just wrapped up watching the title show (both seasons are currently on Netflix for those interested) and I honestly liked it. Admittedly though, I've never played the games and therefore went in with zero expectations about the plot nor any reservations about how true to the source material it was so that surely played a big part. I will say that watching gave me more of a compulsion to replay the 'Mass Effect' series ('Dead Space' too, for that matter) than it did the title series itself. Maybe I simply don't get it because I'm not an XBOX player. Anyway, there's my take on the show and I'm disappointed there won't be a satisfying conclusion, but this wouldn't be the first time a series has done that and isn't likely to be the last.
