Like real slow but once you get the premise and take it as what it is, then it gets pretty good. You don't have to have played the games to enjoy it either, though it helps ALOT. But you'd have to have owned an original Playstation, now I've gone and revealed my age. Well, I started with the PS2 but that's because I bought my own consoles. NO WAY my parents would buy this for me straight out. Speaking of which, probably not for kids content, they won't get the jokes, and you need that for any of this to work.
My only qualm is--they should've gone for 45 minute episodes and the season finale should've been like second act turning point and started the actual race and leave it on a cliff-hanger on the first leg. You know, to DRIVE HYPE to next season. I mean it's okay but I don't feel that much of an investment into the big reveal. I'll watch it if it does happen, can't threaten me with a good time.
