I watched almost three episodes. At first, I was hyped. Silent Hill was my first favorite video game, and I thought that I would gladly consume any type of Silent Hill content because of how rare something new comes up. And the idea where users have an influence on the story? So cool! It can't go wrong, right? Oh dear, sure it can...
It's terrible.
Story? It's not "Silent Hill". It could be, but it's not. The sequence is chopped, disconnected, incoherent, filled with completely unnecessary scenes, important scenes are not developed enough. It feels more like a YouTube fan made fiction montage using cutscenes from a video games, then a series. This is not a professional product at all.
Characters? The last ounce of creativity was spent on modern characters (bossy women, flimsy men, mustachioed girl, zoo of all races, etc.), so there was no creativity to add at least some complexity to any character. That's exploitation.
Video? That would be cool for a ~2010 game, it's a bit late for a 2023 series. Hell, the series never took any of the advantages of computer graphics (impossible angles and transitions). Lip-sync is hit or miss, faces are mostly stuck in a single emotion.
Music? Ha-ha... ha-HA-HAHA. No.
There's nothing of value here.
Obviously, this "product" has nothing to do with the actual creators of Silent Hill.
I'd rather play Silent Hill Pachinko Machine till my last breath than finish this series.
