Plot
This animated anthology series features original stories set in iconic video game worlds. Video games have made a huge splash on the big screen, and we’re celebrating the genre with a closer look at over 50 video game adaptations in movies and shows. Clive Standen will voice Demetrius Titus, the main character in the video game Space Marine 2.
The range of titles is mind-boggling
A couple of cool episodes aside, Secret Level feels like a monument to mediocrity. The writing is painfully mediocre, dragging the entire show down despite the undeniably impressive visuals, though even those feel like overheated leftovers from a decade of excellent video game cinematography. Honestly, what is this show trying to do or say that video game marketing hasn’t done (and better) in the last 10+ years?
Spoiler alert — it wasn’t
Where are the big names? The lack of heavy hitters suggests one thing: the developers didn’t want this train wreck to be a part of it, or they were waiting to see if Season 1 would hold up. It seems like the creators of short-form storytelling are completely avoiding it.
What should have been tense, impactful, and memorable feels disjointed and uninspired
Variety called it an "uninspired slog" and for once, Variety wasn’t harsh enough. Secret Level is proof that flashy visuals can’t hide a lack of vision, heart, or originality! "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
