    Blade Runner Black Lotus amounts to a worthy addition to the Blade Runner series that’s as much of an entertaining individual story on its own as it is a prequel further embellishing the groundwork for the world glimpsed in Blade Runner 2049.

    In its first two episodes, Blade Runner: Black Lotus is already showing tons of promise, which will hopefully make up for its less-than-stellar character designs.

    The main issue with Blade Runner: Black Lotus is that there isn’t really a compelling hook here aside from the Blade Runner bit in the title. It’s a competently assembled tie-in to the larger mythology, but, at least in these early episodes, it’s not clear if there’s much to it beyond that.

    Having seen three of the 13 episodes, this "Blade Runner" feels like a missed opportunity. And to paraphrase a certain cynical cop from the original, it's too bad if the show doesn't live, but then again, who does?

    The first 2 episodes are very good and the CGI is smooth and well done.
