So, did anyone else watch this? For all the recognizable cast - Mel, Naomi, Will Sasso (the big guy from mad tv), I did not recognize the lead from anything. He was ok, but not particularly compelling. As you can tell from the title, there’s a video game theme, like Scott Pilgrim, combined with the Groundhog Day “repeat until you get it right and lean valuable lessons along the way” storyline which I guess is now a trope (see Edge of Tomorrow, Russian Doll). There were some weak bits and Mel wasn’t that special in this, but I found it pretty entertaining. Some good repartee over swords. Lots of beheadings, but not enough to make it a drinking game.
Doom recommended.
